Description

Milanese Upper Arm Protection Made of 16 Gauge Steel
Made to protect the arms, this armor is designed to be used with the Milanese Gauntlets (AB0068M) and are a part of the Milanese Suit of Armour (AB0063M). Produced in Italy throughout the 15th century, armour of this type incorporates large and smooth glancing surfaces in its construction, the theory being that these rounded surfaces would help to deflect an opponent�s weapon. The embossed ridges and fluting that typify armour of the Gothic style are generally absent in Milanese style armour, but that does not change the functionality of this high quality armour. The manufacturer, GDFB (Get Dressed For Battle), has been gaining popularity in Europe over the years as the number one supplier of affordable, functional garments and armour for re-enactment and combat use. We are proud to bring you a wide range of GDFB products. (And were adding more every day!) SCA groups have very strict requirements on specs for armor and our GDFB armor is made to be approved!
