  • ... that the Lokrume helmet fragment (pictured) is the first piece of a Viking helmet identified? Source: Fornvännen 1907 (translated): "The object belonging to Visby Fornsal, which is found in Lokrume on Gotland, is the only known piece of a helmet from the Viking Age".
    • ALT1:... that the Viking Lokrume helmet fragment (pictured) is covered in silver? Source: Fornvännen 1907 (translated) "Fig. 8. (2/3). Helmet fragments (eyes and nose protection) of iron plated with silver".

  • Article was created the same day it was nominated, so it is new enough. The article is more than the minimum length, and adequately covers what is known about the object. References are mostly offline or not in English (apart from the journal links which are open access) so the hook is accepted in good faith. No copyright violations or plagiarism detected. Image is appropriately licensed. QPQ has been provided. ALT0 is approved but ALT1 has been struck as I don't find an artifact being covered in silver being hook worthy (silver artifacts are relatively common, after all).
