Hi, I repaired the pictures, with(out) your permition:-)
We are interested in Greatmoravians of the same period, so we are your enemy

, nevertheless I will try to help. Are you interested more in archaelogical founds of carolinian objects in ČR ore moreover in written informations, mostly about wars against Franks?

But anyway - what is that armor and helmet, please? Is it made as a reconstruction of some founds in France? Or pictures?

The helmet is a Sint Venceslas type , X century (so type found in your area)
The armor is a lamellar not used in France, but use in east Europe , Byzantine part too .
The sword is a Frank/carolingian type found in actual slovakia.

Helmet and armour - I thought so

Our web is in construction, but send me an e-mail, I will send you back some pictures of my equipment, but from home (and you are right, for example my sword is supposed to be carolinian...)

Hi Rodoric,
actually I'm interested in reconstructing militus of late-Carolignian period, I'm on start yet with only scale armour and sword ready; crested helmet, round shield and long lance is still pending.

Check the picture for my scale armour (please ignore the displayed shield and sword, the event where shot was taken was dated differently):

and a sword (Great Moravia period, grave No. 425, Mikulčice-Valy):
