Pauldrons with Scale Armour

Pauldrons with Scale Armour

Such pauldrons with scales (scale armour) in combination with a metal gorget can be used, for example, for the reconstruction of a Byzantine warrior. A pauldron with scale armour consists of a main shoulder plate made of 1.2 mm thick structural steel to which a plate of robust cowhide is riveted. Then 22 curved metal scales made of 1.0 mm thick mild steel are riveted to the leather.

The pauldrons with scales can be tied to the top of a doublet or hung from a gorget (not included in delivery). The shoulder armour with scales is then fastened around the upper arms with a leather strap and a brass buckle. Their movement thus follows the movement of the arms.
