Steel armor legs
Choose options
Plate armour had already been used in Roman times, but the knowledge and skill of making it was lost when Rome fell. For almost a millennium, Europeans turned to mail and sometimes armour made from small pieces of iron. Eventually, armour began to make a comeback to plate. The reintroduction of plate armour in addition to mail was incremental, with only the most vulnerable areas gaining additional protection at first. A prime example is this leg armour from the 14th C, which does not close at the back, unlike leg armour during the 15th C. The open shin, or front greave or shynbald, was the first type of plate armour to be used to augment mail armour. The back of the leg would still be protected with straps of mail at this time.
This leg armour is attached to the front greave with a galley protecting the thigh, a knee cop (also called a poleyn) and a semigreave. The front greave has a pin which is inserted through a hole in the half-greave to provide complete protection for the entire leg.
This mid to late 14th century leg armour is made from two separate, adjustable parts as the greaves can be adjusted in height depending on which hole you use when attaching the demi-greave, making the total height either 73cm or 75cm. The harness is attached behind the leg with three leather belts and at the top to your arming jack or arming belt with separate arming laces.
Made from 1.6mm steel. Steel thickness may vary due to artisanal methods used in manufacturing.
Specs:
- Steel thickness: 1.6 mm
- Weight: 5.70 kg approx (pair)Made from 1.6mm steel with brass buckles. This item has a satin finish which means it has a slightly reflective surface, similar to the finishes on many original armours.
Steel thickness may vary due to the handcrafting of our products. Carbon steel is not treated so it may rust, which is easily removable. You can protect this item from rust with synthetic or mineral oil.
No claims will be accepted for any of the above cases.
