Fantasy theme gave a significant push for hobbys in one way or another connected with fencing and armor developing. Of course we can not ingnore this direction. In general, if you want to collect the most realistic fantasy armor - we are at your service! Especially since our armor has a nice design and you can create the necessary image with it.

Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop mittens, elbows, knees, etc specially for this direction. Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop specially for this discipline mittens, elbows, knees, etc. This direction of fencing is based on medieval fencing books (training books) and special very flexible and light swords are used here.

In fighting stylization, we first of all provide protection and convenience. When developing such armor, we combine the existing elements and parts of the medieval armor existing separately, but in close regions and time frames.

In historical reconstruction, we try to maximally repeat the geometry of the example artifact. The difficulty is that often both the example and the artifact are located far from us. Therefore, such work requires considerable skill.

Lombard arm harness, reconstruction from the arm harness of the headstone of the Georg von Waldburg.

Description

_DSC79291111

Lombard arm harness belonged to the Georg von Waldburg (1405-1467) – commander, responsible for the suppression of the Peasant’s War. He destroyed around 3000 rebels near Böblingen.

While recreating this arm protection we used an additional info about the arm harness, as the details on the headstone are barely visible. The characteristic feature of this harness is large plates which are combined smoothly and provide great mobility. Such armor could only be afforded by the rich folk which of course fought on the horse. Which is why there was a removable strengthening.  for example, the elbow on the arms and additional plates on the shoulders. Such details could withstand blows from the heavy rider and raise the chances of survival. This was a high-tech production for the time.

This is one of the options of arm harness which will be great for reenactment, jousting and historical medieval fencing. These Lombard arms is one of the examples which we used to develop plate protection for sports “Tristan”.
