Huge variety here, some old stock, some proto's, new stock, and even some refurbished armour
All in stock.
Muscled cuirass. I spent ALLOT of time working the finish on this one. Made from 18ga mild steel, (yes it will hold up in battle,) its treated with acids, verathane.... etc... sealed and shined. I tested it out in 3 practices and my steel gorget did not even scuff the finish. I tried to get the aged bronze look, and I am actually very pleased with the results. I planned on keeping this, but just cant afford to, so I overlooked some things like non period clasps and hooks at the back, see pics, and I could not decide on a design for the front securing option for the front of the shoulders, so I can just throw a rivet on them if desired. Should fit someone in the 5'11"-6'1" area, 170-200 pounds (obviously pending height and weight combined)
$490
The last set got a few people interested, so I made another. More of an export look than German. I added a longer demi greave and threw in some flutes. Great articulation, 16GA steel, satin munitions finish.
$250 SOLD
Some sizes are:
Center of knee to upper middle cuisse: 11.5"
Semi circ of demi greaves: 6.5"

16ga full gauntlets for sale. In stock ready to strap, $125. I currently only have 2 sets left. I went back to the larger thumb, bridges nice and firmly on the cuff and end lame. If you do allot of switching grip where you need to open the gauntlet and spin your weapon around, these thumbs can hinder that a bit however. The last pic shows what the set up looks like when the thumb is run underneath. Sometimes needed pending hand size and shaft DIA.
SOLD
OA length: 14"
End of cuff to wrist bridge: 5.5"
end of last lame to wrist bridge: 9"

early 15th century "German?" legs. I quoted that because I found these on a German painting from a German artist. But after studying further I found a pair of effigys from England in the within a 10 year span with the same fan style... so??? not too sure, I got a curve ball when doing additional research. Made from 16GA mild steel, satin finish, the lames are 18. The price includes strapping with hand made buckles and your choice of leather dye (pending stock) The cops were slightly mdofied for a more sca friendly design. They have a slight point and the articulations is good. See pics for gaping, or lack of
I was happy with the assembly. I did however use store bought hinges, but I did file out the are and flush set them. It was torture not fluting the cuisse but the originals did not seem to have any, woudl be more than happy to do anther set with them though
$295

Finally finished up a helm that's been on the bench awhile. 14GA steel, the panels have embossed bands and are blued. The bands are lightly blackened as well as the ocular and lower nasal. 18GA brass accents and 18GA hand made brass washers attach the suede drape. No claim of historical accuracy, I took creative license on this one. I certainly could have better planned some spacing and stuff, but I just kept adding things

Outside is 29"
DIA front to back at brow is 9.25"
DIA side to side at brow is 8.25"
