As the caption says, I am seeking a Migration Era or very Late Roman spangenhelm. My head is ca. 24.5" around and ca. 9" long by 7" wide. I am not too particular about style, but would ideally like one like the Ostrogothic Spangenhelms with the copper or bronze frames and iron spangen...

A Forum Just for John
