A nice old Viking helmet - just what you needed, isn't it?

Good model.
One historical issue though. Vikings did not have horns on there helmets.
True, they didn't use horns on their helmets as it would've been very impractical in a swordfight, however they did have ceremonial helmets which had horns. It's still a good model though :)
I don't think theres any actual evidence of that during the "viking era."
Looks nice all the same
The ceremonial helmets with horns (or wings) worn among the Norse of the time belonged to elders such as the clergy. Recall that there were artisans and clergy in their ranks, they weren't all cutthroat warriors.
No horns on here helmets, no horns on there helmets, no horns on anywhere helmets!
Fus Ro Dah!
Gesundheit. :)
Thanks for the model but there hasn't been any records of them being found here in Norway nor in Denmark. :)
