Custom
Gothic Armor made in
the
Italian style for export
1460's
The Gothic Style Armor made in Italian
style is one of the most common styles of armor
for its time.
It has a simplistic elegance about it, with its smooth graceful fluting
and handsome rounded shape. An example of this style suit is at The
Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York, The Royal Armories in Leads, England, and
another
at the Churburg Museum. This was a medium to high grade of armour in
its
time yet was produced in large quantities by the Italians for export.
It
would have had a nice one piece Italian sallet with visor and simple
Italian
legs.

Custom High Gothic 1480
with
Punched
Brass Trim
This was my first complete suit of armour
that I
ever made. That was in 1993, and there are many things I
would
do different but it is still a very nice suit . I originally made it to
look like the famed "Sigismund of Tyrol" suit, but after seeing the
suit
in Vienna Austria a couple of years back and now having video and
pictures
of the suit (inside and out) I feel confident the next one will be much
better.
