Medieval Scale Spaulders Shoulder Armor Steel

Description

Step into the battlefield with the Medieval Scale Spaulders, inspired by the shoulder defenses worn across Europe during the 14th–15th centuries. These spaulders combine a solid steel dome plate with rows of overlapping scale plates, all securely riveted onto a tough genuine leather backing. The result is a design that balances strength with flexible movement, perfectly suited for both reenactment and display.

In medieval warfare, protection and mobility were equally important. These spaulders shield the shoulders and upper arms, helping to deflect incoming strikes while still allowing freedom of motion for swordplay, spear thrusts, or shield defense. The polished steel plates not only enhance durability but also give a commanding medieval look, while the scaled construction reflects the style favored by knights, mercenaries, and men-at-arms during the later Middle Ages.

Each pair is hand-riveted for authenticity and fitted with adjustable leather straps and buckles, ensuring a secure fit over your gambeson, chainmail, or cuirass. Whether you’re preparing for LARP battles, SCA combat, jousting tournaments, or historical reenactments, these spaulders will complete your armor kit with historical accuracy and visual impact.
