Historical (In)Accuracy: The Myth of the Horned Vikings
As a historian and fencer, I must highlight a fascinating fact: real Vikings never wore horned helmets in battle. This is a myth that originated in the 19th-century Romantic period, largely popularised by the costumes designed for Richard Wagner's 1876 opera, Der Ring des Nibelungen. Archaeological finds, such as the famous Gjermundbu helmet, show that Viking helms were simple, functional, and horn-free, often shaped as a conical or rounded cap with a nasal guard or a 'spectacle' guard for the eyes. Therefore, this helmet is not a historical replica but a fantastic piece inspired by popular culture and fantasy, allowing you to embody the iconic and widely recognised image of a Norse warrior.
How to Care for Your Helmet
To ensure your new helmet serves you for years to come and maintains its excellent appearance, follow these simple guidelines:
- After each use, wipe the interior and exterior of the helmet with a dry cloth to remove sweat and moisture.
- For long-term storage, lightly coat the steel parts with a conservation oil (e.g., WD-40 or mineral oil) to prevent rust.
- Store the helmet in a dry place, away from direct humidity.
- The brass emblem can be polished from time to time with a suitable brass cleaner to maintain its shine.
