Churburg Armor
DescriptionTo serve your lord, you are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. On the battlefield, you await the coming violence, contemplating the thousands by your side and the thousands more who oppose you. It is very possible you will die today, but you have every intention of eliminating a hundred soldiers before you do.
Your lord strides along the battle lines, shouting encouragement. Your Churburg armor glints in the sunlight as he finally gives the call to charge, and with that decisive shout, the battle begins.
DETAILS
The Churburg Armor by Epic Armoury is a simple piece of low-fantasy armor that protects the front and back of the torso and abdomen. The plate rests on the waist and is sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel.
The Churburg Armor is adorned with a wide "V" on the front to deflect attacks away from the head. It is fully usable with other metalwork products from Epic Armoury, giving you the freedom to customize your character's costume. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and premium leather straps and fittings, this piece of armor is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with the usual care for leather and metal armor.
Available in Medium/Large and X-Large/XX-Large sizes; and in Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors.
HISTORY
- Loosely based on the Churburg #13 breastplate, a historically famous set of 14th-century armor.
- The historical inspiration was considered a “transitional” breastplate, intended to be worn with plenty of chainmail.
- Our version is much larger than the original and protects the entire chest.
Quality
- Made of 1 mm thick mild steel
- Rolled edges with no sharp edges
- Straps and fittings made of premium leather
- Adjustable ductile steel flanks for a better fit to the body
- Hand-welded parts for maximum durability
- Polished steel surfaces

Maintenance
Epic Armoury metalwork products should be treated with acid-free quality vegetable oil or wax and stored in a dry place. Metal armors containing leather parts would need separate maintenance for the leather. Read the "Leather straps and fittings" section below for leather cleaning and maintenance with leather care products.
Degreasing and preparing your armor for use
When you open your armor, you may be overwhelmed by the smell of grease and oil. The oil has been applied to protect your armor during storage and transport. Use a degreasing product or mineral spirits and a dry cloth or paper towels to remove all oil from the plate armor pieces. It is a bit more difficult to remove all oil from chainmail links, but it can be done in the same way. Wipe off as much as you can with a dry cloth, and with the remaining oil, you can remove the grease from the chainmail with mineral spirits or another solvent by spraying it onto the links. You can also choose to completely submerge your chainmail in a degreasing product and use your hands to agitate the metal in the solution; this will completely remove all oil and grease from your links. After removing the oil, be sure to dry the armor well. Strong, warm sunlight is great for drying your armor, but you can also use a hair dryer or a heat gun to speed up the process. Be careful not to overheat any leather parts when using a heat gun.
Cleaning
Humidity is the enemy of armor and chainmail. If your armor gets wet, it is important that you dry it well as soon as possible. After handling it, wearing it, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped clean with a clean cloth. Lightly grease the clean surface with an acid-free quality vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the exposed metal. Let the wax dry for a couple of hours and then lightly polish it with a soft cloth.
Preventing and removing rust
Store your armor in a dry place and check it every two months for signs of rust. If you find any, remove it by gently rubbing the affected spot with a lightly abrasive pad dampened with acid-free quality vegetable oil or wax. Epic Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but they should still be treated with oil and stored in a dry place.
Leather straps and fittings
Clean them by removing dirt with a stiff brush, then gently rub with leather soap and a clean, damp cloth until the leather looks clean. Remove the soap with a separate damp cloth to clear away any soap residue and then use a dry cloth to wipe the remaining water off the leather.
You should always condition the leather after cleaning it, as the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax using a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or wax in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping it down with a final clean cloth to remove excess residue.
