The 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 bigger area of the shoulders and has a wider neck opening than the smaller version (MY100052). 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.

I LOVE a swiveling gorget!! So easy to put on, unlike other two-piece gorgets! I have rather broad shoulders, and the shape of this piece fits like it was custom-made for me. I suggest wearing it with a padded collar though, to avoid pinching. If you plan to wear it over a breastplate, the rivets on the underside WILL scratch the finish on the breastplate. I solved this by gluing craft-store felt on the underside, then trimming off the excess. Works like a charm…no scratches…and it just looks…*posh*. 🙂 The strapping is tough, and well riveted. The polish could be better, but I steel-wooled mine down to a soft, satin finish—which I prefer over high-polish. Much easier to maintain. This looks 100% period authentic worn with pauldrons and a breastplate! Excellent!!!…..Mark M.
