Gothic cuirass, 1.2 mm steel
Gothic Cuirass, Torso Plate Armor, Steel
This elaborately crafted and beautifully detailed reconstruction of a late medieval cuirass is made of 1.2mm steel (18 gauge) and consists of a breastplate and a back plate.
While the pectoralis is equipped with three sliding thighs (the so-called faulds) to protect the hips, waist, groin and lower abdomen, the beautiful backplate is completed by a widely enlarged culet composed of two wavy and overlapping sliding bands that protect the buttocks. The faulds as well as the culet are hinged on steel rivets. Both the front and back feature the typical ridges, filigree cutouts, and multi-layered appearance of the Gothic plate armor of the late Middle Ages (15th/16th century). For better corrosion resistance, the inside of the reinforcement is blackened.
The two halves of torso armor are fitted around the body and secured in place with 3mm thick adjustable leather straps and steel buckles. This allows for a comfortable fit for a variety of sizes. The straps and buckles are firmly riveted to the chest and back plates at shoulder height and on the sides.
Note that this item, while fully usable, is not a battle-ready cuirass. However, it's not only a great collectible or décor/display piece, but also perfectly suited for the depiction of a wide range of historical and fictional/fantasy characters. Ideal for late medieval reenactment, LARP, stage or cosplay, it will make your transformation into a proud and noble knight or warrior perfect.
