These loose lamellar plates come in packs of 100 and are ready to be used to build your own lamellar armor. They are crafted from 20 gauge steel. They are packed with preservative grease to prevent rust. Some dried grease may be on the plates but it can be easily buffed off.

Constructed of overlapping plates of steel, bronze or leather and laced together in typically horizontal rows with cords, Lamellar gives excellent protection and restricts the mobility of its user much less than scale mail, which it largely replaced. Some of the Medieval historys famed warriors used Lamellar Armor such as the Byzantine Cataphracts, the Mongols and the Japanese Samurai and it could be seen on warriors from Eastern Europe to Japan.

Lamellar gives the plate protection to its wearer and the plates which overlap and flex against one another with movement give good mobility. Being composed of small plates fitted together with cord, lamellar is also easier to construct than the large steel plate armor favored in medieval western Europe. Lamellar plates could be lacquered to protect them from rust.

    Cheap and historical, but will have to be worked.. These are the cheapest plates out there, cheaper than equivalent aluminum, stainless steel, or brass plates from different suppliers; also period-accurate and good solid protection. But be aware: these plates come packed in grease and are not de-burred, therefore they will generally need to be de-greased, de-burred, and will be prone to rust unless surface treated. I am experimenting with mine using some different techniques: vinegar and mustard forced patinas, and lacquer paint. I may also coat them with clear matte rustoleum if they rust very quicky.
