What armor is here

Armor is gear worn to guard the body, and knights and samurai both used it. The pieces on this page are mostly helmets, shields and arm or leg guards. Some are display models and others suit costume use, so read each product page to see which one you are getting.

Types of armor in this collection

Helmets are the largest group. Medieval fans can look at the Antique Knight Helmet Display or the Bascinet Helmet Desktop Model. The Hanwei Oda Nobunaga Kabuto & Mempo Samurai Helmet covers the Japanese side, and the Spartan Helmet brings the screen look.

Our sub pages break the range down further. Browse Bucklers & Shields for round shields, Greaves & Bracers for arm and leg guards, and Arming Caps for padding under a helm. Sword Display Racks & Scabbards finishes a setup. Brands include Hanwei and United Cutlery.

How to choose

Start with the purpose. A desktop helmet model sits nicely on a shelf, while a full size helm suits a costume or a larger display. Look closely at the product description for size and material before you order.

Prices on this page run from $33.97 to $606.97. A bucklers or arming cap is an easy first purchase, and a samurai helmet is a bigger step up.

Matching armor to your space or costume

Consider the kind of space you have. Desktop helmets are small enough for a desk or bookshelf, while larger helms and shields make a stronger statement on a wall. Samurai kabuto come with a face mask, so they reward a spot where visitors can see the detail.

For costume or reenactment use, comfort matters as much as looks. Padded caps and bracers keep hard edges off your skin, and a buckler is light enough to carry for an afternoon. Match the style, such as medieval, Roman, Spartan or samurai, so the whole outfit feels like it belongs together.

Display

Keep metal pieces dry and out of direct sun. A stand stops a helmet from tipping over, and a soft cloth wipes off dust.

Questions people ask

What are the different types of armor?

Armor is usually grouped by the body part it protects, such as helmets, shields, arm guards and leg guards. This page covers all of those.

What do knights wear under their armor?

Knights wore padded clothing and a cap under the metal, which softened blows and kept the plates from rubbing. Our arming caps are a good place to start.
