Italian Back And Breastplate (Churburg S18) – 16 Gauge

Based on the S18 harness from the Churburg armoury, this piece is dated from the 15th century – although some specialists believe that it can be dated from 1370 to 1410. The original armour that this set is based on supposedly belonged to the Von Matsch family and is thought to be a Lombard work.

Our Italian Back and Breastplate is constructed from 16 gauge steel making it great for re-enactment. It features articulated plates and a blade catcher and is held together with buckled leather straps.

Adaptable up to 120cm chest circumference including gambeson.

Steel thickness may vary due to the handcrafted methods used on its manufacturing. This item has a satin finish so its surface will be slightly reflective as many original armour models.
