Both consisted of overlapping plates (lamellae) that were interlocked in horizontal rows to form a dense pattern reminiscent of the scales of a fish. While scale armor was also laced, sewn, or riveted onto a stable base made of padded cloth or tough leather, lamellar armor did not require any supporting material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e They were widespread in many cultures and periods and came in a variety of styles, shapes and patterns. The material was diverse, from metals such as iron, steel and bronze to thick, sturdy leather and even horn or ivory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf well made, this type of armour was almost impervious to blows and stab wounds and also offered particularly good protection against blunt weapons. Scale armour\/lamellar armour was popular among warriors in the Middle East, Asia, as well as the Romans and Vikings, and was used well into the Middle Ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The set of 25 loose steel scales offered here is the optimal accessory for the discerning re-enactor who wants to build his own scale armour.

The larger hole allows for tying, sewing or riveting the individual scales to a base, and the smaller holes on the long sides are there to provide stability for the scales and to connect them together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Shed set, 25 pieces\u003cbr\u003e - Material: untreated steel (not galvanized or rusted)\u003cbr\u003e - Scale size (length x width): approx. 35 x 25 mm - Scale thickness: approx.
