Rieneck Greaves and Cops

Lower leg combat armor, late 14th c.

With long, flowing and smooth lines this armour proves that sometimes simple can be the most beautiful. Our steel artists based the entire kit upon the funeral effigy of Gerhard von Rieneck housed in the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany and have created a functional work of art.

Our late XIV century armour for the lower leg is composed of frontal greaves and leather-lined cops. The cops are predrilled to point to both the greaves and cuisses (sold separately) in a historical manner and the leather extends to semi-pteruges providing extra protection to plates that see extensive wear and tear from extended motion.

The external fan plates have smooth lines and rounded edges to balance the look of the historical armour with SCA safety standards.
