Look, touch, taste, enjoy - XVI century landsknecht armor, the authentic armour kit based at Swiss National Museum, Zurich and Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg collections.

Such gorgeous defense as landsknecht armor kit was an incomplete armor worn by the most effective foot soldiers in the world - German mercenary pikemans of the late XV and early XVI centuries. Armor's components and price depended on the landsknecht's rank and salary. And we are glad to present you high-ranked and rich landsknecht’s steel armor set hammered by our blacksmiths for true connoisseurs.

You can use this modern kit for:

• SCA
• HEMA
• Larp
• Stage performances

Keep in mind, that this armor differs from most models with several structural features, that you will surely like. The lower plate of the shoulder has a convex comb that allows for reliable adhesion of the shoulder plate and the shoulder pad. The shoulder pad serves as a guide for the free movement of the entire arm cover. The shoulders have a closed tubular structure, while the arms have a two-part one. Their connection carried out through the elbow pads. Progressive gorget design provides enhanced protection.

Pay special attention to the landsknecht armor cuirass.

Strengthened and at the same time decorated with Maximilian corrugation for rigidity both on the chest and on the back, it does not look like simple armor, but like a precious frame, strong enough to hold off any blow. In addition, cuirass design movable on sides allows the fighter to maintain mobility in battle. Hips are protected by 3/4 segmented tassets with the same chic Maximilian corrugation for rigidity as the cuirass.
