Is more than obvious the importance of leg protection for cavalry, and not only in the 15th century but in general was one of the earlier protections seen among this kind of troop and became quite relevant with the increase of cavalry troops. Undeniable is the beauty and intricate of work in German style armors as the piece we offer you. This version is is based on a original armor from south Germany that can be found nowadays exhibited on a collection in Berlin. The piece reflects the Belgium and Austrian influence in the Germany of the age. The lateral hinge system can be found also in the Valdemar VIs armor stored at present in the Royal Armouries or in the archiduke and later emperor Maximilian Is armor.
Made in steel 1,2mm. This item has a satin finish so its surface will be slightly reflective as many original armour models.
