Gothic Suit of Armor Ref: CI-AB0024
Gothic Suit of Armour -18 Gauge Steel-

A fully articulated and wearable full-harness in the German Gothic style of the late 15th century. Armor of this type is generally sleeker-fitting and less rounded than Milanese armor of the same period; many parts terminating in a point, lending the armor its characteristic "spiky" appearance. The ridged radiating patterns embossed on the breastplate, cuisses (thigh guards) and pauldrons (shoulder guards) and the fluted gauntlets are also typical features of armor made in southern Germany during this period. The ridges and fluting are not only aesthetically pleasing, but were believed to increase strength and resistance to blows without adding extra weight. The combination of a sallet helm and bevor, again typical of the Gothic style, would have provided excellent protection for the head and throat but would have limited the field of vision of the wearer.

Handmade of 18ga. high-carbon steel.
