Fs Merctailor Gorget

Post by AL »

The gorget is one of the 15/16th century gorgets we used to make. Made from 16 gauge CR mild steel with beveled plate edges and rolled edges where appropriate. Closes with a keyslot rivet and pin closures on either side of the top neck lame. If desired I can install straps for the attachement of shoulder harness. Will fit up to an 18 inch neck with room for the collar of an arming garment. I'm thouroughly average at 5 foot 10 inches, 180-185 pounds, not particulally large just average and this fits me fine. Like to get $180 ( less than we used to get for these ) plus the cost of shipping. I can make these with bigger neck opening and lames. I will install straps for attaching pauldrons if desired, no charge.

Feel free to ask questions. Paypal, check or MO are fine.

Hi guys, I also have one of these from Al, and its my pleasure to jump on the Merc Tailor train here. These kick ass.

Al didnt mention it, but the neck lames all have slot rivets in them also, keeping the neck lames snug together nice like, but still allowing good mobility. Also makes them 4 times as strong and maintenance free as a simple leather articulated one. Id charge 350 for these if I could make them this good.
