Real Armour

Description

(1) Of course we try to maintain similarity to historical models. What is different is that our research goes beyond the usual half hearted attempt to look like museum examples. We have essays here that attempt to explain exactly what is involved in examination of museum examples. In the technical section under "museum display pitfalls" where we pose the thesis and in the section titled "advanced study materials" where we show exactly what study material was used to come to this conclusion so that the advanced student of armour can read for themselves. We specialize in articulations that work.

ARMOUR AS SAFETY EQUIPMENT Without a question the single most important function of armour is that of safety equipment. In a very real and very legal sense martial arts is a ?dangerous environment? and protective gear for martial arts is ?safety equipment?. In the twenty first century this issue can only become increasingly important. Here at Blankenshield we take a position that is EXTREMELY unpopular with some competing armour companies. We will go the extra distance to make ?safety equipment? that can visually appear as period armour for martial arts events that require ?period? fighting gear. We feel that modern safety gear with modern safety goals can be manufactured entirely using traditional materials like steel and leather. We do not use plastic, fiberglass, foam rubber, or stainless steel. We make what is called comprised armour. That is to say it contains components based on several antique armours. The outline of our great pauldrens for example is from the Ann de Montmorcy armour and the division of the interstaciary lames of the pauldren is from one of Henries armours.
