I always wanted a Roxolani spangenhelm as pictured on Trajan's Column, so a year ago I ordered this one from Greg Kulig at Thorkil Armour. No nose-guard to interfere with sighting in archery, and Greg reproduced the design accurately... all except the bluing, which needs to be removed. Vinegar? Or will I spend hours scrubbing with 000 steel wool?
It's fashioned in true spangen construction (rare these days). On its way from Poland at the time of this post. I can't wait!
