Product description
These spaulders are based on originals that were in use from the 14th century onwards. They can be easily combined with armour pieces from the Churburg or Avant styles, but spaulders such as these were also commonly employed in late-Gothic armour. Spaulders are narrow shoulder pieces that attach to a gambeson, chainmail hauberk, or gorget. These armour components differ from pauldrons, as pauldrons are wider and also provide protection for parts of the armpit.
Shoulder pieces such as these were worn throughout Late Medieval Europe. These pauldrons feature rondels—small discs that protect the gap between the armpit and other armour components. The shoulder pieces are equipped with leather straps and may be easily attached to a gorget or bevor.
