  • Chainmail Coif - Butted - Zinc Plated

    Mail was thought to have been invented by the Celts. The earliest example was found in a Celtic Chieftain's burial in Romania. It was a popular form of defence for the warrior elite of the Viking and Early Medieval periods. It is often (wrongly) referred to as chainmail but this terminology was first introduced by Sir Walter Scott in 1822 in his novel "The Fortunes of Nigel". In the medieval period, it was simply known as "Mail".

    The coif was designed to protect the head, neck and shoulders against damage from bladed weapons. It was very effective at doing so - the Royal Armouries have conducted tests with well-made mail and concluded that "it is almost impossible to penetrate using any conventional medieval weapon". The Mail Coif is constructed by hand from hundreds of steel rings and will fit all but the largest of heads. The rings are zinc plated to provide a shiny, maintenance-free finish that is resistant to rust.

    This item is crafted using mild steel rings. If you require even greater durability please check our high tensile steel products or our Riveted Chainmail section.

    Finish: Zinc plated
    Material: 16 gauge Mild Steel
    Ring Type: Round / Butted
    Diameter: 8mm
    Weight: 3.5kg

    All dimensions are approximate and may vary from piece to piece.

  • Decorated Gauntlets

    Our 16th Century Spanish Gauntlets by Marto have separate and articulated fingers and are typical of the Spanish armory of the 16th century. These Gauntlets are made in steel and enriched with 24K Gold plated metal figures applied on the back.

    In the fourteenth century, the fingers were separated, until the middle of the sixteenth century in order to fire the pistol grip. In many tournament armors of the fifteenth and early sixteenth century the left hand had mittens of fingers separated and the right hand, for the spear, defended by a mitten.

  • Black Knight Gorget with Foldable Bevor

    A fully enclosed helmet wouldn’t prove as efficient as this knightly gorget paired with your trusted sallet!

It allowed the wearer to easily remove the helmet when not required and provided significant protection on the battlefield.

    Skillfully HANDCRAFTED from sturdy 18 gauge mild steel, it makes an excellent companion for your LARP and reenactment outfits, making you stand out with your armour! A set of ROBUST GENUINE LEATHER STRAPS help close it, and another pair of leather straps can conveniently fasten your pauldrons in place if you wish to. This gorget easily fits most body shapes, thanks to the well-articulated, adjustable back and front plates!
