Gorget Neck Plate

This steel collar or gorget is a beautiful replica of the armor worn in the medieval era. This collar was a simple means to protect the neck area from fatal strikes from an opponent. The collar wraps fully around the neck and opens and closes on one side, secured shut by a small metal pin.

This collar was only used for a brief amount of time before it was retired and later only used during ceremonial events. The surface features a brilliant high shine finish and is easily maintained by applying a small amount of oil with a soft cloth.

This piece is made from 18 gauge steel and has leather straps with buckles to attach pauldrons, breast and back plates.
