Product description
In the early 15th century, complete suits of armor began to appear in Northern Italy, known today as Milanese armor. This style was worn throughout Europe and was not limited to any single region. The Milanese style is characterized by large, rounded, and unadorned plates. Helmets typically included the sallet, armet, and barbute, and a full mail hauberk was worn underneath a Milanese suit. While Milanese armor pieces were often used as a complete suit of armor, sometimes knights wore only individual parts.
This arm armor is based on historical Milanese originals. Armors like this were part of, for example, the Churburg S18 armor. Armor of this type was worn throughout Europe between 1390 and 1450, and similar armor continued to be used into the 16th century.
This armor is made of 1.6 mm steel and is suitable for reenactment.
