Late medieval Bevor with tip, 1.6mm steel
Late medieval bevor with tip, steel
1.6 mm This wearable reconstruction of a late medieval plate armor for the throat, chin and neck is made of 1.6 mm steel (16 gauge) and blackened on this interior for better corrosion resistance.
The bevor (or beaver) shows the typical multi-layered appearance of Gothic plate armor from the late Middle Ages (15th/16th century). While the throat and chin parts are fixedly riveted to each other, the upper or lame sliding plate is hinged into rivets and can be raised or lowered. When upwards, it reaches below the eyes and provides additional face protection. It is reinforced at the top edge and a row of round cutouts ensures proper ventilation. On the right side of the chin section, a small embossment holds the foldable coxe firmly in position when folded.
On the back, the bevor has a two-part hinged neck protector that opens laterally and closes by attaching it to the throat piece by means of a small pin. The front and back plates form a complete gorget.
This collar is ideal for late medieval and Renaissance environments. Equally suitable for medieval reenactment, LARP, stage, TV/film, costume, it will make your transformation into a proud and noble knight or warrior perfect.

Please note:
To ensure that this armor is the right fit for you, remember to take your measurements on your gambeson and/or any garments or chainmail you may plan to wear underneath!
The steel used here is not rust-proof and may have slight surface stains in places. We recommend that you maintain plate armor regularly, for example by using the universal Ballistol oil, which is ideal for steel care.
