Small Steel Balthasar Gorget
$41.00
The Small Steel Balthasar Gorget is a stylish piece of neck armour, its elegant lines and riveted detailing along the edges helping it to stand out. The steel gorget features a bright metal finish that suits medieval knights and champions. Combine this excellent neck protection with other pieces of our Balthasar-style armour to create a complete LARP ensemble. This metal gorget covers a smaller area of the shoulders and has a narrower neck opening than the larger version (MY100050), making it ideal for warriors with smaller builds and adolescents. We recommend wearing a padded collar or mantle underneath this plate armour for additional comfort. Prepare for your next re-enactment by bringing home this excellent steel armour.

A very nice piece. Fits very well right out of the box. Well packed and oiled.

I want to love this item, and on paper I really do. My problems stem from it being a swing gorget. The issue is that the Gorget is designed to sit closed at the smallest neck size, if you need to expand it for a larger neck it will sit wonky on your chest. I’ve still give 5 stars as this is a weakness of swing forgets and not unique to this product. For a swing Gorget the product is fantastic.
Purchased to wear with the markward breastplate. While it required a little bending to sit flat, this was easily achieved and it looks great.
