This classically-styled Norman helmet features an integral aventail in butted steel mail and a ridged nasal. Construction is in 16 gauge steel with a fitted leather suspension and chinstrap. The Norman helmet is typically quite similar to a spangenhelm or a nasal helm (depending on the era), and this one is no different, featuring a simple form that provides great protection to the head, while also featuring a ridged nasal guard for that added bit of protection to the face. Integrated with the helm is an aventail that is crafted from butted steel mail, providing the extra bit of protection that some mail along the back and sides of the helmet might provide. The helmets body is constructed from 16 gauge steel, which makes it quite durable and protective, while also giving it a realistic weight, too. The interior of the helmet is fitted with a leather suspension lining, as well as a chin strap that works wonders for keeping the helmet secure on your head.
These helmets are usually a conical design and often include cheek guards and a Nasal to protect the nose. Some Spangenhelms include eye protection in the shape of a mask. Many of the Viking and Norman helmets would incorporate a mail or chainmail aventail or neck guard.
