The breastplate was one of the most essential pieces of equipment for a knight. It covered the chest and vital organs while allowing sufficient movement for fighting or riding. This piece reflects the style of approximately 1490 when armor workers were beginning to strike the perfect balance between protection and mobility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"1097\"\u003eDuring the late 1400s, European armor had evolved from simple chainmail to full plate armor. The breastplate armor became a symbol of both function and status. Nobles and soldiers alike wore it in battle, tournaments and parades. Our version is inspired by authentic museum pieces, making it perfect for history lovers, collectors and reenactors who want a true piece of medieval craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\\n\u003cp data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003eThis breastplate is an excellent model and a high-quality steel replica of the originals.
