Hi Thorkil inc.
Wonderfull work.
I love this type of sallet. It is strange because I can shave using it as a mirror!
Are you able to hand-forge such a bowl in one piece? How do you name this type of visor without holes for the view? (In french: "vue couvrée").

Désolé mais Thorkil qui comprend fort bien le français s'est expliqué du choix de la langue de son post.
Il n'y a aucne raison pour rendre le sujet hermétique à tous les non-anglophones.

J'aime particulièrement ses casques de la période de Vendel, mais à voir ceux-ci...
"Copie d'une pièce exposée à Sion"....j'enrage, j'y étais hier et je n'ai même pas fait un tour au musée.

j'aime beaucoup voir le paysage dans le reflet d'un casque, c'est très artistique, je trouve ^^
et quand ledit casque est magnifique, ça ne fait qu'ajouter au plaisir!
