The
Cuirass (Armour breastplate and backplate) was certainly the
most versatile piece of armour throughout history! Its use spanned
through many centuries providing protection to the vital chest and
back areas while allowing freedom of movement to the arms and legs
which was so crucial during combat.
When paired with a Burgonet helm, it afforded complete protection
to the head, face and neck during battle. This wearable cuirass
is sized for the average person of the 16th century.
Armor pieces such as these were most popular throughout England
and Scotland during the 16th century.

Gothic Suit of Armour -18 Gauge Steel
A
fully articulated and wearable full-harness in the German
‘Gothic’ style of the late 15th century. Armour of this type is
generally sleeker fitting and less rounded than ‘Milanese’
armour of the same period with many parts terminating into a point,
giving the armour a ‘spiky’ appearance. The ridged radiating
patterns embossed on the breastplate, cuisses (thigh guards) and the
pauldrons (shoulder guards) and the fluted gauntlets are also
typical features of armour made in southern Germany during this
period. The ridges and fluting are not only aesthetically pleasing
but were believed to increase strength and resistance to blows
without adding extra weight. The combination of a sallet helm and
bevor, again typical of the Gothic style, would have provided
excellent protection for the head and throat but would have limited
the field of vision of the wearer.

Japanese/Samurai Full Suits of Armour
Oda Nobunaga Japanese Suit of Armour
Oda
Nobunaga (1534 - 1582) played a key role in shaping the course of history
in fuedal Japan. His policy of unifying a country controlled by many
fueding daimyo (warlords) was furthered in a series of victories
characterized by brilliant tactics and the first organized use of
firearms. His unification policy became a reality under his successor,
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, shortly before the end of the 16th century. Our very
affordable battle armor, constructed by the craftsmen of Hanwei, is the
Yukinoshita Do style, having largely solid vertical plates around the
torso and incorporating all of the elements of a suit of armor of the
period. The crest of Oda Nobunaga is mounted on the helment. The armor is
wearable (within a reasonable size range!) and is supplied in the
traditional lacquered armor box, which, along with a a wooden frame,
provides the support for the stunning display.

Takeda Shingen Suit of Armour
Takeda
Shingen, ally to Oda Nobunaga, was one of the greatest Samurai
commanders of his day and an astute governor of his people. The
armor is wearable (within a reasonable size range!) and is
supplied in the traditional lacquered armor box, which, along with
a a wooden frame, provides the support for the stunning display.
This
Dragon Armour, named for the helmet crest (mon), is made for the
connoisseur of Japanese armours. It faithfully replicates a “Byotoji
Do Gusoku” from the Edo period which, like many fine armours, incorporates
an earlier helmet bowl from the Momoyama period. European influence
on Samurai armour is discernible in the slight median ridge to the
front section of the byotoji okegawa do (breastplate) which, by
this period, was designed to deflect musket balls. The plates of
the do, with waved edges, are fastened with elaborate shakudo rivets
in the form of flowers with gilt centers. This feature illustrates
the Japanese preference for a more flexible style of armour than
the typical European one-piece breastplate construction. The carrying
chest/display seat (hitsu) is black lacquered with the Dragon mon
emblazoned in silver on the front panel. Overall, the antiqued patina
of the gusoku gives a period appearance and provides a rich addition
to any Japanese décor. Our full-sized suits of Samurai armour provide
displays of outstanding quality for the den or the dojo. Crafted
by the armourers of CAS/Hanwei, the armour is authentically detailed
and completely realistic. These very affordable pieces are made
with traditional styling and materials and are wearable (within
a reasonable size range!). They are supplied in the customary black
lacquered box which, along with an included wooden frame, provides
the support for the display.
