In 1607 Jacob de Gheyn, native of Antwerp, ilustrated a book that was a success at the time, even if its edition was delayed to prevent it falling into enemy hands. It´s "Van Roers Wapenhandelinghe, Mvsqvetten Spiesser Ende," a manual of uses and exercises with caliver, musket and pike. Based on that book we´ve made this beautiful piece of armor,  the last of the infantry in modern warfare and could be an excellent addition to any collector or re-creator of the Thirty Years War or the English Civil War. Just like with the ammunition armors of that time, only is done in one size that fits almost all sizes.

Made of 1,2mm steel. Steel thickness may vary due to the handcrafted methods used on its manufacturing.
