Author Topic: Gothic breast and back larcheveque Member Member # 679 posted 02-13-2006 11:03 AM                   Hi guys, I recently finished this breast and back plate. I made this for a member of my reenactment group. Your comments are welcome. http://cf.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/francoislarcheveque/detail?.dir=5d93&.dnm=eed6s cd.jpg&.src=ph http://cf.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/francoislarcheveque/detail?.dir=5d93&.dnm=7ff3s cd.jpg&.src=ph http://cf.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/francoislarcheveque/detail?.dir=5d93&.dnm=95f8re2.jpg&.src=ph [ 02-13-2006: Message edited by: larcheveque ] -------------------- www.flarcheveque.com Registered: Oct 2004  |  IP: Logged Erik Schmidt Member Member # 424 posted 02-13-2006 04:44 PM             Well, I can't comment on the authenticity, but the workmanship looks very very nice.

I have a question about the germans bevors. I saw some examples of bevor fixed to the breastplate and some other fixed only to the neck by the leather strap. What is the best(historical) way to fix the bevor for a Swiss footsoldier of 1475? -------------------- www.flarcheveque.com Registered: Oct 2004  |  IP: Logged Boudhewein Member Member # 995 posted 02-17-2006 07:43 AM                I personaly think the one with the leather neckstrap.. It gives the most freedom of movement you want as a food (uhm sorry, foot) soldier. -------------------- I reject your reality and substitute my own Registered: Feb 2006  |  IP: Logged larcheveque Member Member # 679 posted 02-17-2006 10:43 AM                   I agree with you. All breastplates with fixed bevor seems to have a lance rest... Fixed bevor are perhap mostly for horsemans? -------------------- www.flarcheveque.com Registered: Oct 2004  |  IP: Logged
