Description
Imagine stepping into the past, clad in armor reminiscent of the ancient Lombardic warriors. Our Lombardic Byzantine Lamellar Steel Plates are not just pieces of metal; they are masterfully crafted elements that allow you to connect with history. Each plate is a tribute to early 7th century AD armor, specifically inspired by the renowned historic find at Niederstotzingen, Grab—a testament to quality craftsmanship from a time long gone.
Crafted from untreated, slightly oiled 20 gauge steel, these plates have been designed for authenticity as well as functionality. Each piece measures approximately 8.5 x 2.5 cm, creating the perfect steel lamellae that fit seamlessly together for superior protection. The excellent shape and structure of these lamellar plates ensure that they can be combined to form a robust armor solution that is both lightweight and durable. With a total weight of just 1 Kg and 325 grams for 100 pieces, you will hardly notice the weight while still benefiting from the substantial defensive qualities they offer.
Each hole in the plates is precisely cut, measuring 3.5mm in diameter, allowing for straightforward assembly with laces or rivets, letting you customize your armor to suit your own unique style and needs in reenactments or cosplay. Whether you are gearing up for a historical reenactment, medieval festival, or simply adding to your collection of historical armory, these plates will make a striking addition. Their meticulous design replicates the appearance of historical armor, ensuring that you not only look the part but feel grounded in the stories of our past.
When you receive your Lombardic plates, you’ll find they are coated with a temporary layer of oil, serving as a protective barrier against corrosion (rust) during storage. This coating can easily be removed with any oil remover or even a dry cloth, preparing them for your next event or display.
Whether you are a seasoned reenactor or a passionate history enthusiast, these lamellar steel plates offer you the chance to craft your very own piece of living history. The care and attention to detail put into each plate bring the stories of our ancestors to life, allowing you to take a hands-on approach in experiencing the past.
