Pioneer Helmet

The Pioneer Helmet is a boar-crested Anglo-Saxon helmet from the late seventh century found in Wollaston, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. It is one of just six helmets yet discovered, joined by finds from Benty Grange, Sutton Hoo, York, Shorwell and Staffordshire. The form of neck protection that the helmet afforded, if any, is uncertain, owing to ploughing damage to the helmet.
