Viking Gjermundbu Helmet – 12 Gauge

Roaring into the face of the enemy, you do not fear their strikes. You wear the 12 Gauge Viking Gjermundbu Helmet to protect your head. Made from 12-gauge mild steel, this Viking helmet takes its inspiration from a 1943 find in Norway. The original helmet was found in nine fragments, later to be restored into the full helmet.

This helmet has a rounded shape with crossed bracing strips on top. There is a spike where the strips cross. Also, a reinforcing strip runs around the bottom edge. In front, there is a spectacle mask design with grooves along the brow. This design is common amongst Viking helmets.

A chainmail aventail hangs down all around the helmet. The aventail has a blackened finish, contrasting the polished finish of the helmet above. There is a guard frame under the spectacle mask, behind the aventail. It provides additional protection. This helmet is perfect for any Viking warrior to wear into battle at their next reenactment.

Be sure to wear this helmet with an arming cap for enhanced comfort and safety. And remember to check out our helmet stands for the best way to both store and show off your helmet with pride!
