NauticalMart Gothic Suit of Armor Knight Reenactment Battle Armor Medieval Times Costume

Description

Large sections of plate armor began to be added to mail during the middle of the 13th century. This continued until full plate armor developed sometime in the late 14th century. Two main centers for the production of armor were Germany and Italy. One of the most beautiful of the styles was that called Gothic. The Italian Gothic, which we have reproduced, was fuller, not as spiky, but offering a great deal of protection as well as comfort. During this period of time, the average suit of armor would cost about the same as a top of the line Mercedes now. Fortunately our suit doesnt cost anywhere near that! Historically accurate and fully articulated, this is a fine example of the armorer?s art. Hand forged by Windlass Steel crafts? of 18 gauge steel. Complete with full skeletal body and decorative skirt. Leather straps. Comes with wooden pedestal making this piece stand an impressive 7 feet tall! Call for freight charges.
