Hi! everyone

For the armours I have at the moment they all are in lacquered forged iron.
actually fire weapons started to spread from the second half of the 17th century. That explain the change of style from plates of iron linked by silk and cuirass of bullet proof iron. In the 18th century there's a revival of the old style since the times where more peaceful.

Thanks for the enthusiasm
