Handcrafted from robust 12 gauge mild steel, this helmet is not just a collector’s piece, but a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of that era. The design is inspired by the iconic nasal helmets discovered in the Olmutz region, located in present-day Czech Republic, as well as from several other known sites around Lake Orchowskie, Hradsko, and Lake Lednice. These helmets were prevalent during a crucial era in European history, especially between the 9th and the 13th century.

As depicted in the famous Bayeux Tapestry, the Olmutz Nasal Helmet was worn during significant events such as the Norman invasion of Saxon England.
