My name is
Scott
Martin
and I founded Illusion Armoring in 1990 along with my
wife
Lynette. Prior to that I worked extensively in the field of
antique restoration for eight years. In my armoring career I have
had the pleasure of working with and selling to museums, curators,
motion
pictures, television, reenactors, collectors, and a multitude of combat
groups. I have had the privilege of delivering armor to the
U.S.A.,
Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Italy,
Japan,
Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries. In the
past
years my 
colleagues and I have diligently studied armour during visits to well
over thirty museums in Europe and the US. On many occasions
I had private tours at the museums, and was able to personally handle
many
of the pieces that were on display. During this time I have
accumulated
an extensive photo collection totaling well into the thousands of
individual
photos. I have filmed literally hours and hours of
video
tape to
document
different views and angles of armour.
During my
visits to Europe
I have also
acquired an extensive collection
of  armour books to
add
to my library. I
use
all of these resources to produce the best armour possible.
. I am capable of making armour from a wide range of metals such as steel, stainless, aluminum,  brass, and bronze.
I can can work in a
wide
range of gauges from 20g. to 12g. I offer three types of
finish
a standard satin finish, a semi bright finish, and a mirror finish.
When
our schedule allows we do accept custom orders, but only pieces that
are
based on original styles.
Please visit our in stock page to check on the items that are in
stock ready for immediate delivery. Also
notice
that we offer two types of armour a "Period" grade
and a "Munitions"
grade.
The Munitions grade armour is designed for the multitude of
"combat
re-enactors" and meets or exceeds the standards set by the Society for
Creative
Anachronism (S.C.A.) as well as other live steel groups. It does not
mimic any specific style of armor made in medieval times.The Period grade armor is for collectors and authentic re-enactment groups that require the much higher standard of armour. It is manufactured to look and work like armor designed in medieval times and for specific time periods. Period armor also meets the standards set by the S.C.A., but we will make it from thinner gauges when requested. Whatever you are looking for to fill your armoring needs, it is my hope that you will find it here at  |
