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.

Maximilian armor is the type of German armor of the first third of 16th century, named after the Emperor Maximilian I.

Description

Reconstruction of the Maximilian armor in Vienna. It is considered that the set is made in the transition style from Gothics to Maximilian. The original is quite small. Around 150-160 cm. The armor of the picture was made for the person of 175 cm. 
Harnisch A 192-2

The set was produced from tempered spring steel. The helmet is welded but we don’t think that there is any sense to make it 200-300 usd cheaper. It is better to go with one-piece forged.  The breastplate is forged from the 2.5 mm thick sheet. The edges become thinner and are 1.2-1.5 mm thick. Also we discovered quite late one characteristic feature of the assembling of such set. It was that: gorget and shoulders must have been assembled with straps, and not with sliding rivets.


Maximilian armor is the type of German armor of the first third of 16th century, named after the Emperor Maximilian I. The name Maximilian doesn’t mean that every armor worn but the Emperor was, in fact, Maximilian.


The predecessor of the Maximilian armor is armor in Schott-Sonnenberg style, which had a lot of Maximilian armor features and they were different, for example, by the lack of ribs and also a range of other details including the absence of rolling of the edges, preformed in the shape of the twisted rope, as the majority of Maximilian armor had. By the way, the set “Patrician Tuher” has no such rolling, which gives us the reason to suggest, that it is the transition armor from Gothic to Maximilian.

Another characteristic feature are sabatons “Bear Feet” which conform to the fashionable at the time shoes with very wide toes. Later after the sabatons became less fashionable they were called “Duck Feet”.

While developing the armor a great help of consultation and pictures was received from Andreas Schmidt and Oliver Till.
