Kero Kero Hi, sorry, metal _what??_ X-X

There is actually a hell of a lot of Indo-Persain mail that looks a lot like this. Ranging from 15th century Iran to 19th century India. The Ottomans used this phenotype (for lack of a better word). We've even seen some examples of mail similar to this in the Philippines. Yours really is very similar to a lot of those. Side-by-side (as apposed to over lapping) many small plates, with holes along the edges, incorporated into a shirt of mail. There wasn't a whole lot of standardization there either. Or rather we see a vast amount of variation across different places and times. A lot of it does look like amateur modified mail where someone just put small plates wherever they thought they needed more protection. Even to the extent of a lot of it having on the fly cheat repairs. The near-east, and south-east had been doing basically what you'd done with this for 100's of years. Your shirt wouldn't have been out of place from the 15th century - the 18th century, east and south-east of the Mediterranean. Of course it probably would have been considered a poor mans make shift armour then as well. There is really only two major differences between yours and a lot of those found from those times and places 1) A lot of the plates were dished to some degree. 2) A lot of pieces have engraving on the plates (entire scripts, or one-off repetitive phrases). But yours still falls mostly in-line with a good chunk of the plainer low budget examples we see.

@DeHerg

4 жыл бұрын

one other difference (important to anyone trying to replicate similar pieces): there need to be at least 3 rings between each plate (one connecting to each plate and one connecting the two) to provide a small bit of buffer space, the lack of which is the reason he had to use such large rings and why they continued to bend and fall off.

You look amazing in that armor!

All three of the Great Courses Middle ages courses are excellent. I think your food observations are the reason for the nose guard stopping where it does.

Perhaps you could review the scale-type armor: " 'Dragon' Armor?"

Quite decent protection, only problem is the armour keeps falling apart.

It will last through a battle, and that's what matters. With riveted links it would be fine.

Awesome seeing the Excalibur (1981) intro!

That helmet looks so good !

Can you get through airport security wearing that? Is it Zombie proof? No flap to protect your junk?

fizikshizik, yeap, pretty much so. It would work fine with riveted male, so it's quite a good armor actually

Such a cool armour!
