Title: For Sale: Historic Enterprises Breastplate
Post by: Ian on 2013-09-21, 21:12:18
(forgive the impersonal tone, this is going on the AA and maybe MyA as well)

For sale is the standard Historic Enterprises Breastplate, Italian ca.1360-1415 (http://historicenterprises.com/arms-and-armour-c-101/armour-late-14th-century-c-101_137/breastplate-italian-c13601415-spring-steel-p-710.html).  It is a Historic Enterprises size Large (Large 46" chest, 40" waist, .062" (1.5mm) thickness ).  It is made from 1050 hardened and tempered spring steel.

The inside of the breastplate is painted black.  In the photos you will see that the paint has worn away around the edges of the inside of the breasplate from me wearing it over a maille haubergeon.  The straps when shipped were really long so I trimmed them down.  The waist strap still measures over the advertised 40''.  Shoulder straps were trimmed too, if you're huge you may need to re-strap it.

I'm getting rid of it because it's too big for me.  It's in great shape and looking for a loving home.  It has never been struck.  It's just been in Living History demos and timelines.

Brand new this is a $575 piece with an 8-12 week wait time.  I will sell this for $450 shipped, PayPal only (I'll eat the paypal fee).  CONUS only.  First-come first-served, no dibs system.
