My new Deurne helmet.

[Virilis]

Salvete Omnes!

Here is my new Deurne type helmet, will receive it next week. It has an iron core with brass covering and oxblood coloured leather edging.

It's okay if you like that sort of thing I suppose ;-)

..........seriously though folks. That's a beauty and no mistake. Unless I am very much mistaken it was made the same craftsman who did my Heteny helmet.

An excellent Xmas present Mr V.

[Virilis]

Yes Marc, you're right! Can't wait to try it on my noggin !

[Longovicium]

It looks wonderful! I am very jealous. Make sure you don't lose it in a bog . . .

Great helmet jyrki. For some reason I thought you already had a great reproduction late roman helm? Or is this a second one??? :o

[MarcusNorwood]

Very nice! :woot: A helm like that is on my list.

[Pointer]

Very Nice! Who Made it?

[Virilis]

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I try not to lose it in a bog :wink: . Yes, I had also a very nice Berkasovo helmet which is in the possession of the Fectio group (the coolest re-enactment group on the western hemisphere with members of superhuman strength). The maker of the helmet is Patryk Nieczarowski / Nieczar of this forum. It just seems that Poland produces these wonderful artists, be it helmets, swords, fabrics, kitchenware, you name it...

Wow, that is a beauty!! I love the detailed craftsmanship. The red lining is a superb touch, too. It adds even more class to an already wonderful helmet.

[Virilis]

Thanks Robert! I thought that the oxblood colour would go nice with the brass and also with my other gear.

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Looks amazing. I wish I had one of those.

Looks like a great helmet Virilis. Patryk has done a great job on it!
I cross my fingers for you! 8-)
