For what the various bits are called, http://myarmoury.com/feature_gothic_armour.html is a good start.

"Arms and Armor of the Medieval Knight" will cover largely what knightly armour was in the various centuries from the 11th to the 16th, though it won't give the the piece by piece information.

Oakeshott's "European Weapons and Armour" gives you a rough overview of stylistic variations and development of plate armour from the 15th and onwards. Once again, lackign the details.

For a really great and detailed look into things, we have "Armour of the English Knight 1400-1450", that'll go into great depth about even the more minuscule details. The scope's limited to what the title suggests though.

Armour of the Battle of Wisby ( http://michael-engel.io.ua/album329328_0 ) will give you a look at the mid 14th century, though with a decent bit of "chaff" relative to what you're asking for, and with the examples often being "in excavated condition", as it's an excavation report all said and done.

I'd happily get tips about other work here myself.

Was there much armor between the invention of the rifled musket and the invention of the flak jacket?
>>
As for weapons, there's some obvious difficulty in spotting who used what, especially since the fittings are often long gone (and possibly with replacements made). Though as the basic weapons for rank and file seem to have been viewed large as disposable, simply having somethign survive until the present day suggests that it probably wasn't such a weapon, even if it may have.

Oh well, polish doesn't really show anything here, so it'll get to stand in for the basic stuff at least.

Low profile, hardened steel, proofed armor that looks like a vest or waistcoat. The US civil war is where the term "bullet proof vest" came from, though they were expensive, and if troops found out an officer wore one, they would refuse to fight under them.

Also, textile and metal bullet proof armor straight through both world wars.

Not really, no. This site seems to be all about SCA-yoroi though, so perhaps there's some help to be found there: http://www.sengokudaimyo.com/katchu/katchu.html

Otherwise, check the armour archive forums. I suspect there's at least one relevant thread in "I want to be a...", but if nought can be found, just ask and I think you'll get help.

>>47151238
Rifling is IIRC an early 16th century invention, with the musket proper following somewhere around the end of the century, so strictly speaking yes, quite a lot.

Rifling didn't really catch on until the Minié ball and the second half of the 19th century though. Between that and the flak jacket we don't see a whole lot of armour, though French cuirassiers for example where still in helmet and breastplates in early WW1, and there where experiments with various forms of plate armour in that war.

That's very interesting. I assumed that between the early bulletproof armor that was eventually made obsolete by higher muzzle energy and the advent of flak armor during the world wars there was a sort of interregnum.

Also, while hardly bulletproof, not everyone went all in with firearms in the 19th century, so we do get things like this, probably aimed at colonial officers. It certainly seems like it could be good for your peace of mind in Mindanao.

I asked because I'm making a D&D setting based on the mid-to-late 1800s, and my current thought for how to handle armor is to just change the names on everything. So chain shirt becomes bulletproof vest, studded leather armor becomes studded leather duster, etc.
I'm calling the setting Cowboys and Dragons.

Thats not completely right though. Very fine, welded maille shirts were not unheard of for defense from sword and knife attack, as were quilted defenses.

A maille shirt is a maille shirt. A bullet proof breast plate is a breast plate. A quilted jack is a quilted jack.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any places for sword furnishings? Pretty much anything of a 16th C and earlier in style.
I recently picked up some walnut boards to serve as scales for a sword blank I found at a flea market for about 10 dollars and I'd be interested in seeing what other swords/weapons I could assemble.
Aslo, I would be interested in finding a kriegsmesser blade.

Dude, wise up. Don't you think it's not a bit suspicious that it's always just one singular "anon" fervently defending "him".
Beside the fact that they're using identical mannerisms like the constant misuse of the word "troll".

Kingdom of the East fag here.I don't understand what you mean by cruising, but we have blue feathers. Its a holdover from the 70's, in the lines of the hanky code. Singular, blue feathers in hats or on helmets used to mean that you were down. With the change in modern social climate, it has changed to a combo of pride and support. We've had trans and single sex royals before.

They throw the best masquerade dance at Pennsic.

They pick up that it was a big thing for some jousting formats, and then miss out on it being a somewhat special sallet with a number of extra bits here and there to make it all jousting-worthy?

Well, I'd actually put my money on it mostly being "I want a sallet", and little past that. Pessimistic perhaps, but still.

>Spend several thousand dollars on a proper breed of horse with proper temperment for jousting
>Spend several thousand dollars a year training, housing, feeding and caring for said horse
>spend several hundred dollars an event on transport, stableing, consumables (balsa lances add up, and hardwood is crazy expensive)
>spend several thousand dollars on custom armour/research and build custom armour
>still use the wrong helm

Jousters are fucking crazy, man. I did two passes with a double-scored training balsa at low gallop... Once. I can't wrap my head around hardcore jousting with the wrong equipment.

the fact that you have money doesn't mean you have the brains too.

Also you may or may not be surprised how many people thinks that the lack of proper safety equipment makes them more hardcore
