Is more than obvious the importance of leg protection for cavalry, and not only in the 15th century but in general was one of the earlier protections seen among this kind of troop and became quite relevant with the increase of cavalry troops. Undeniable is the beauty and intricate of work in German style armors as the piece we offer you. This version is is based on a original armor from south Germany that can be found nowadays exhibited on a collection in Berlin.
