Jousting Grand guard, 15. century
This Jousting Grand guard (breastplate add-on, cuirass reinforcement) is hand-hammered from 2.0mm (14 gauge) steel plate. It includes just the darker part in our main picture, covering part of the cuirass, left pauldron and lower visor of the armet. Since the shape and fastening is always individual, it is made only when a suit of armour is ordered (or sent to us).
- It is completely hand-made by a Czech armourer.
