Rectangular armour scales of firm leather - 50 pieces.
These firm leather scales in rectangular design are made of a classic cow split leather that ensures reasonable protection.
The leather scales made of split leather in 2.5 - 3 mm thickness and are very suitable for making a simultaneously solid and yet inexpensive scale armour.
The scales have holes punched in all four corners. This makes it easy to sew or rivet them onto a suitable backing material such as leather or fabric.
The armour scales measure 8.0 x 5.0 cm with a hole size of 3 mm.
The scales are available in black or brown in a uniform colour, so that all leather scales have one and the same colour and form a uniformly coloured scale armour.
The pack contains 50 leather scales of one colour each in solid cowhide split leather.
Leather scales have been used to make scale armour since ancient times by the Persians, Greeks and Romans and were still in use by the Byzantines and Vikings until the late Middle Ages. In addition to armour scales made of leather, those made of bronze or iron and even bone or horn were also used.
