| What's New? |
Just about everything is new here at the Riverforge site...but the hammering on the anvil is a pretty constant sound in the workshop. There's a whole range of new stuff here for you to look at, so if there's anything you like the look of and want for yourself, email us.
Gothic elbow and vambrace.
The vambrace is heavily worked and comes from the late Milanese rather than the German tradition. It is available as either a full vambrace as shown or as a half vambrace with just the lower section.
Price: Vambrace (full) $95
Half-vambrace $65
Elbow: with heavily worked fan $50 eachItem #: AGSA
Gothic half gauntlet
To match and complement the gothic vambrace, this half gauntlet is heavily worked and is strong and light...as well as being difficult for the eye to focus on when it is moving.
Price: $80Item #: AGHG
Item #: A6MP A set of stepped pauldrons with a difference. Extra neck protection, coupled with a large dose of presence, all in one piece of armour.
Price: POA
These are a development of the Mark V gauntlets, built for use with two-handed swords, polearms etc. These also fit behind a shield very nicely, allowing you to wear a small buckler and still wreak havoc with that rattan claymore. Item #: A6MG Price: POA
Leg armour, with high-density plastic cuisses covered with leather (your choice of colour). The kness fully articulate, and are remarkably comfortable to wear. Item #: A6LH Price: POA
A light but strong vambrace, it offers protection but without the weight. These can be fitted to attach to either of the elbow cop styles on offer. Item #: A6PV Price: POA
Not all shields are created equal. At Riverforge, one thing we've learned from our experience on the field is that shields are heavy, unless of course you choose to make them out of something other than wood.
Historical solutions involved wicker or cuirbolli, neither of which stands up to the rigors of constant re-enactment usage. This is where the use of high density plastics come into their own.
Whether your shoulder is too worn out to carry your favourite old wooden shield, or you just feel like having something light to keep those archers at bay, these shields are brilliant to use (the editor has one, and will sing its praises loudly to anyone who'll listen)
By the way, yes, we can make them in a variety of shapes and sizes.Item #: APS1 Price: start at $80 without shield box
