Hi There
Just wondering I have read somewhere that there may have been a part of a Spangenhelm found in Dunfresshire in Scotland. Has anyone any info on this thank you. Dave

I never heard about it, but I would be very interested about it!

Interesting. A shame that there is no full evidence that this found was a part of a spangenhelm.
