The Definitive Book for Restoring Medieval Armour!
Few historical icons match the evocative power of the medieval suit of armour. Forged from sheets of iron, then beaten with hammer and stake into elaborate sculptures of defense, the knight's armour symbolized his martial prowess, his social station, and his nobility of purpose-the very essence of chivalry in the Middle Ages.
Today, a growing community of medieval reenactors, collectors, historians, and martial artists have revived the art of the armourer, reanimating the steel's role as a functional defense for modern combatants participating in tournament competition as well as celebrating its beauty purely as a work of art. Through his skill, the modern armourer has succeeded in communicating across the ages, mooring the chivalric ideals of the Middle Ages to the iron sheet that is his medium, and through that sheet, to us.
Through poetic prose and practical instruction in his Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction, Dr. Brian R. Price presents a lavish introduction to some of today's finest craftsmen and their work as well as a step-by-step guide for novice and intermediate armourers who desire to delve into the tools and techniques of this specialized art form. With more than 1,000 stunning photographs of medieval and modern designs, Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction has proven a major contribution to the restoration and preservation of one of the grandest physical representations of the ideals of the Western world.
"Three guys are responsible for it [the Renaissance of modern armouring in Ukraine and Eastern Europe] - J.R.R. Tolkien, John Howe, and you [Brian R. Price]." -Anton Antoshyny
