TECHNIQUES OF MEDIEVAL ARMOUR REPRODUCTION

This epic book is a complete course on making a full suit of armour. Through more than one thousand detailed photographs and clear textual instruction, Brian Price presents a working handbook for aspiring and active armourers who want to develop and sharpen their skills in the production of medieval armour in the style of the 14th Century. Its four sections include a sweeping history of armour and its production from its medieval style to its modern revival; a practical introduction to all the tools and supplies necessary to equip a modern workshop; a thorough review of key techniques in the armourer's arsenal; and a series of actual courses in constructing armoured defences for the head, body, arm, hand and leg.
