he makes some of the stuff in the shops look bad.

In days of Yore, Stew could and did make helmets like this, in the Vendel and Valsquarde Style, (which is BTW previking and Migration period Sweden and not Norse-Viking period at all). They are Superb and probably collectors items now and in the future (I wish I'd bought one then).
I know that Markus has one, but sadly, like Stew, we never see him around now, either.
Warren Green made one or two Sutton Hoo helmets (I have them) but only on a tail wind, if he was in the mood, and only one that came close to the ornate features of the original Helmet taken from the ground at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia (it's in Australia now and a photo of it appears in the Osprey book about the Picts).
But he spat the Dummy with Norse reenactors as well and now he works for First Scene company instead.
