This is a reproduction of an early medieval lamellar armour, as worn for example by the Saxons, the Franks and the Vikings.

Finds from Visby and Birka (Sweden) have furnished evidence that this type of armour was popular with the (North) Germanic peoples.
The scales used here are modeled on the original pieces found in Birka. 

This lamellar armour is hand-crafted from approx. 430 mild steel scales. The individual scales are tied together by means of thick
leather cords. They are not galvanised and may consequently be subject to corrosion. If you'd rather have a rust-proof scale armour, This lamellar armour can be expanded with a set of steel scales for self-assembly (Sold Separately). 

Details: 

- Material: approx. 430 polished mild steel scales, leather strings 

- Size: adjustable by means of straps and buckles, chest girth from approx. 104 cm to 122 cm 

- Dimensions of a scale (length/width/thickness): 97 x 22 x 1.1 mm
