Noble Friends, Especially Saxons and Armor Geeks,

Today Wikipedia is highlighting the Pioneer Helmet, named after the gravel
pit in which it was found. The helmet is a 7th century Saxon helm with a
boar crest, and is similar to the Coppergate Helmet, though not as fancy.

To read about the Pioneer Helmet and see some really striking photos, go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Helmet .

In doing some background work for this post, I stumbled across the Arador
web site. It contains a bunch of articles on armor, including how to make
various helms. Cool stuff:
