Ancient Styled Helmet Several influences in this design. I started this one shortly after finishing the Viking helmet. It started with an old Swedish Army helmet shell.  I cut the flared edge from the shell and then made custom parts from 18 Ga Brass sheet metal. Face guard, added flange and large articulated scales over the chin strap. Over 70 rivets in this odd helmet. Very heavy. This will probably be the last metal work I'll do for a while.  After making these 2 helmets and a couple other things, I can barely use my hands.  I love playing with metal but just can't do it anymore because of pain. Back to making music for now. This helmet is designed as an artistic expression, for display only. I wouldn't recommend using it for protection in battle!   $450.   Free Shipping in USA Only.
