                                                Gothic Bevor, 1.2 mm Steel

A wearable reconstruction of a Late Medieval bevor for  throat and chin protection. The bevor is made of 1.2 mm (18 gauge) steel and blackened on this inside to give better corrosion resistance.
The bevor (or beaver) shows the typical multi-layered look of the Gothic plate armours of the late Middle Ages (15th/16th c.). It consists of three parts – a gorget and a chin piece that are  riveted to one another, and a top sliding plate or lame for additional face protection. The top plate is hinged on rivets and can be raised or lowered. When up, it reaches below the eyes. It is reinforced at the upper edge and features a row of round holes that ensure proper ventilation. On the right side of the chin section, a small retractable pin keeps the folding lame securely in position when folded up.
The bevor is open at the back (no neck plate) and is equipped with a riveted, approx. 2 mm thick leather strap and a brass buckle. The strap is size adjustable to ensure a comfortable, custom fit.

This bevor is ideal for Late Medieval and Renaissance settings. It is equally suited for the portrayal of a broad array of historical figures and fictional/fantasy characters,  whether used for medieval re-enactment, LARP, stage, TV/film, costuming or cosplay.
