I will soon be offering a ceremonial viking helmet in kit form. Watch here for details. I am also considering offering some of these helmets pictured in kit form. They would consist of precut leather pieces, cast resin parts, horsehair, etc., plus complete instructions on how to assemble. If you might be interested in purchasing such a kit, please write me with the word "helmet" in the subject line, and let me know which helmet or helmets you would be interested in. There is no commitment to buy at this time. I am just trying to gauge whether or not there is sufficient interest for me to pursue this.
You can email me here.
