The Gjermundbu Helmet is one of the most iconic and important Viking-era finds in Norse archaeology. Discovered in Gjermundbu, Norway, in a warrior grave dating back to the 10th century, it remains the only complete Viking helmet ever unearthed. This helmet type is believed to have been used by Norse elite warriors, offering robust protection in battle while embodying the martial spirit of the Viking Age.

This faithful reproduction is crafted from 14-gauge mild steel and treated with an antique finish, giving it an authentic, battle-worn appearance. The distinctive spangenhelm construction—a segmented dome with reinforced bands—is topped with a riveted nasal guard, offering facial protection while maintaining breathability and visibility.
Equipped with a chainmail aventail (camail) made from riveted steel rings, this helmet offers additional defense for the neck and shoulders. Inside, a soft leather liner ensures comfort during extended wear, and the adjustable chin strap keeps it secure whether on display or in action.
This helmet isn’t just a piece of protection—it’s a piece of history reborn. Ideal for anyone seeking to connect with the Norse warrior legacy, from museum-level collections to immersive medieval gatherings or personal collections.
