15th Century Steel Articulated Gorget

The 15th Century Articulated Gorget shows the logical evolution in armour development from the bascinet with aventail to a sallet helm with gorget. This steel gorget matches the style of European armour from 1480 to 1500. The neck armour features a rigid neck guard with an articulated bevor offer additional protect the face. This particular gorget is similar in design to a bevor, as it protects not only the collar, but also features an extension that sticks up and keeps the wearers chin and lower jaw protected. It also features a moving plate that rotates up and down as the wearer requires, providing a bit of variable protection to the jaw.
