Description

NAUTICALMART SUPERIOR STLYE 15TH CENTURY GERMAN GOTHIC FULL SUIT OF ARMOR A fully articulated and wearable full-harness in the German Gothic style of the late 15th century. Armour of this type is generally sleeker fitting and less rounded than Milanese armour of the same period with many parts terminating into a point, giving the armour a spiky appearance. The ridged radiating patterns embossed on the breastplate, cuisses (thigh guards) and the pauldrons (shoulder guards) and the fluted gauntlets are also typical features of armour 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.
