Milanese Armour 16 gauge steel fully articulated This ?Milanese? full-harness displays the characteristic robust and rounded appearance of armour produced in northern Italy throughout the 15th century. Armour of this type incorporates large and smooth glancing surfaces in its construction, the theory being that these rounded surfaces would help to deflect an opponents weapons. The embossed ridges and fluting that typify armour of the Gothic styl Category: Gifts/Specialty - Collectibles - Item: 466818439 - Milanese Armour 16 gauge steel fully articulated e are generally absent in Milanese style armour. Other typical Milanese features include mail sabatons (foot protection) and mitten gauntlets. Many of the parts that compose our Milanese armour, including the T-face barbute helm, are based on the ?Avant? armour that is housed in the Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow. This near-complete harness was made at the Corio workshop in Milan, and dates from around 1440.Included with the armour are the mail skirt, standard and voiders pictured, featuring Wedge Rivets and Flat Ring construction.

Armour of Churburg 16 gauge steel fully articulated This fully wearable suit is loosely based on the famous #13 harness housed in the Castle of Churburg, located in Italy?s South Tyrol region. Believed to have been made in Milan by armourers of the Missiglian family during the second half of the 14th century, this high quality armour is one of the earliest known examples of a near-intact harness. This armour typifies a period when the traditional m Category: Gifts/Specialty - Collectibles - Item: 466818444 - Armour of Churburg 16 gauge steel fully articulated ail coat, reinforced with varying degrees of plate protection, was still predominant on the battlefields of Europe and predates the full plate suits of the 15th century.Our Churburg armour is fully articulated and wearable and boasts many of the features found on the original suit. Many of the individual steel plates that make up the breastplate (which has a lance rest attached to the right hand side) and arm-harness are bordered with decorative etched brass strips.

Gothic Suit of Armour 18 gauge steel fully articulated 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 Category: Gifts/Specialty - Collectibles - Item: 466818437 - Gothic Suit of Armour 18 gauge steel fully articulated 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. The combination of a sallet helm and bevor, again typical of the Gothic style, would have provided excellent protection for the head and throat but would have limited the field of vision of the wearer.

Shuihu Tachi This masterful piece by Hanwei combines the elements of one of the most popular Chinese classic novels with an elegantly crafted and superbly decorated Tachi.

Oni Katana High Carbon Steel Blade "The Oni are mythical creatures from Japanese folklore similar to western demons or trolls. In modern culture they are beginning to move away from this menacing connotation into the role of guardian or protector, similar in character to gargoyles. Their power and ferocity, however, have not diminished. There is a Japanese saying which translates to Oni with an iron club, or to be of an invincible Category: Gifts/Specialty - Collectibles - Item: 461703150 - Oni Katana High Carbon Steel Blade nature, a fitting association with the 29? L6/Bainite blade on which our Oni Katana is built. The blade features the geometry of our Performance Series for outstanding cutting ability. The 14? tsuka is wrapped in black ray skin and silk ito while the Koshirae feature Oni in various classical styles. A unique combination of folklore and functionality. Bainite is a structure of high-carbon steel that combines great strength with excellent flexibility and shock absorption characteristics. It has been known as an exemplary Katana blade component for a number of years but its use has been restricted to a few top-class master smiths, due to the difficulties involved in performing the exacting heat treatment procedures necessary for the production of a Bainite blade body in combination with the very hard Martensite Yakiba (edge section) required for Katana blades. Hanwei has now mastered this difficult process, using billets of L-6 tool steel (a very tough high-carbon low-alloy steel) as a st

Golden Oriole Daisho Katana Functional Sword It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana (1018-GT) and Wakizashi (1019-GT).
