Reconstruction of the Maximilian armor in Vienna. It is considered that the set is made in the transition style from Gothics to Maximilian. The original is quite small. Around 150-160 cm. The armor of the picture was made for the person of 175 cm.

The set was forging from tempered spring steel. The helmet is welded but we don’t think that there is any sense to make it 200-300 usd cheaper. It is better to go with one-piece forged. The breastplate is forged from the 2.5 mm thick sheet. The edges become thinner and are 1.2-1.5 mm thick. Also we discovered quite late one characteristic feature of the assembling of such set. It was that: gorget and shoulders must have been assembled with straps, and not with sliding rivets.
Maximilian armor is the type of German armor of the first third of 16th century, named after the Emperor Maximilian I. The name Maximilian doesn’t mean that every armor worn but the Emperor was, in fact, Maximilian.
