Articulated gorget, years 1450-1550

The type of gorget can be seen by the end of the 15th C. It represents a logical evolution of armour development. Combining a sallet with this gorget provides improved protection in comparison to a bascinet with aventail and visor. This kind of protection includes a rigid neck guard (yet articulated) offering a great protection and efficiency. This version is made in the style common in Central Europe between years 1480 and 1500. More information...
