Sigurd, Fantasy Viking Helm by ~TomBanwell. The most complete description of this helmet is from the artist's own website: "The Sigurd helm is made of the finest materials. The horns, medallion and decorative buttons are all cold cast bronze. The medallion is framed by a piece of fox fur. The crown and strap peices are made of top grain vegetable tanned cowhide, all handstitched with waxed thread. The horn bases are encircled with a strip of leather edged with a four-part round leather braid. I have used traditional Viking motifs throughout this piece. The decorative buttons are shaped like traditional round Viking shields with the reinforcing ribs and center boss. The crown pieces are lightly engraved with a basketweave pattern. The horns are engraved with a runic dragon. The cold cast bronze medallion portrays Sigurd battling and killing the dragon Fafnir. Every part of the helm was designed and made by me."

Enough about the horns already! Regardless if the helmets had horns or not just appreciate the piece for what it is without getting picky over details-besides it says fantasy.
I personally thing its fantastic the amount of detail that you've put into your work-just beautiful.

LOL. I was just ABOUT to mention it. SAXONS wore horned helms, but as has been mentioned, it's 'fantasy.'

btw, despite my name here, I'm of Saxon origin, thus the quote, but I feel an affinity for Nordic culture--Norse, Dane--and all germannic culture.
