Tjele Viking Helmet – Spectacle Mask Reconstruction (Battle Ready)

Name: Helmet from Tjele (Denmark, X c.)
Brand: Dead People Style
Price: 1550.0 PLN
Availability: InStock

We proudly present the second helmet crafted in our local Polish workshop — a historically inspired reconstruction of the legendary Tjele Viking helmet.

Only the original mask from Tjele has survived. Based on the research of Munksgaard, E. (1984) – A Viking Age smith, his tools and his stock-in-trade, the Gjermundbu helmet is considered the closest structural analogy. Therefore, our reconstruction uses a dome modeled on the Gjermundbu type, maintaining early Viking Age construction principles.

This is not fantasy. This is experimental archaeology.

Historical Construction

In the original Tjele find, the spectacle mask was made of alternating pressed bronze and silver sheets.

In our reconstruction, we use nickel silver (alpaca) — a material that faithfully reproduces the color and shine of historical silver while offering greater durability and structural strength.

For collectors seeking the highest level of historical prestige, we offer an upgrade option with solid silver decorative elements upon request.

All dome elements are crafted according to Viking Age construction principles, including authentic segmentation and the correct number of mounting holes for the aventail.

Every detail matters.

Customization Options

This helmet can be ordered in two stylistic variants:

• Upper brow reinforcement only (top brow ridge)
• Double brow reinforcement (upper and lower brow ridges)

Both versions follow early medieval construction logic and are suitable for high-end reenactment and collector display.

If you are interested in the solid silver option, please contact us before placing your order to receive an individual quotation.

Proper Fit – Required Head Measurements

To ensure a perfect fit, we require the following measurements: A, a, b, and c.

IMPORTANT:
If you plan to wear an arming cap (which is strongly recommended), you must wear it during all measurements.

The helmet will be made according to the measurements you provide. Measuring without padding may result in a helmet that is too tight once the arming cap is worn.

Please measure carefully using a flexible measuring tape. The tape should rest comfortably against the head — do not tighten it.

A – Head Circumference

Measure around the widest part of your head:

• Just above the eyebrows
• Over the ears
• Around the most prominent part of the back of the head

Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight.

Record in centimeters.

a – Transverse Diameter (Side-to-Side Width)

Measure the maximum width of your head:

• From one side above the ear to the other
• Keep the tape horizontal

b – Vertical Height

Measure from:

• The top center of your head
• Down to the circumference line (A measurement level)

Keep the measuring tape straight and vertical.

c – Vertical Height (Eye Line to Crown)

Measure from the eye line (the level where the spectacle mask will sit, just above the eyes) vertically to the highest point of your head.

The measuring tape must be held in a straight vertical line — do not follow the curve of the skull.

⚠ Important: Wear your arming cap during this measurement.

Record the measurement in centimeters.

Important

Do not forget to purchase:

• Arming cap
• Aventail (mail curtain)

Proper padding is essential for both comfort and safety.
