Review-14th Century Legs by Mandrake

Post by Vitus von Atzinger »

I have finally strapped and pointed my 14th century leg armour made by Greg Anderson of Mandrake Armoury.
They are in mild steel, with deep, arch-shaped knee cops which have a single lame above and below. Fitted front greaves came with them.
The fit is incredible- the greaves alone are so beautiful and comfortable that I am amazed. The comfort of this leg armour is only bested by the look- which is pure 14th century. Great lines!
I bought them used, and my good pal Alan Bauldree helped me refurbish and clean them up a bit- thanks Alan!

Yes. Pictures.

My very first set of legharness was from Mandrake, like the rest of my first plate harness. I was fortunate indeed to live only a little over an hour from him. He does good work, and the area misses him sorely.... Image
