Italian Churburg CH18 Early 15th Century Breastplate, 16 Gauge

Description

Step back in time to the elegance and robust craftsmanship of the Churburg CH18 Breastplate. This exquisite cuirass takes inspiration from an original piece housed in the famed Churburg collection, crafted around 1410-1420. Imagine standing among noble knights, warriors adorned with such remarkable protection! This breastplate represents a significant evolution in armor design—more effective and stylish than the simpler globose breastplates of the previous century.

With its carefully engineered silhouette, the Churburg CH18 Breastplate not only shields its wearer but also deflects attacks with expert precision. Knights and men-at-arms of the era hailed this innovation as it provided greater safety than traditional coats of plates. Whether you’re preparing for a LARP event, a historical reenactment, or simply a costumed affair, pairing this breastplate with one of our gambeson/arming doublets or chainmail shirts (sold separately) will undoubtedly create an imposing visual presence.

Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, the Churburg CH18 Breastplate is made from 16-gauge mild steel, ensuring durability without compromising on style. Handcrafted precision guarantees that you will receive a piece of armor that not only looks authentic but is built to withstand the rigors of combat and play. The multiple genuine leather straps allow for high adjustability, catering to a variety of body types and ensuring a comfortable fit while maintaining a secure feel.

Available in three sizes—Medium (chest 94-104 cm), Large (chest 105-115 cm), and Extra-Large (chest 116-126 cm)—the Churburg CH18 accommodates a range of users. Please ensure you measure your chest while wearing the gambeson for the best fit! The weights, neatly crafted to suit each size, are as follows: M- 8 Kg 80 grams, L- 8 kg 970 grams, and XL- 9 Kg 380 grams.

One important point to note is the protective layer applied to each piece of armor; it is carefully coated with oil to prevent corrosion and rust during shipping. This temporary protection can be easily removed using an oil remover or a simple dry cloth, ensuring that your breastplate shines brightly on display or during use.

Elevate your historical representation with this iconic piece of armor that not only embodies the spirit of the Middle Ages but also grants the wearer substantial protection and a rugged elegance. Embrace the legacy of the knights and feel the weight of history as you don the Churburg CH18 Breastplate. Prepare for victory, and let your next event be an unforgettable experience!
