Warborn Blades
The Armoury
Worn steel and padded cloth — what stands between a body and the day it ends.
The great pieces stand at the front where the torches are brightest; the small ones wait further in, in the dark.

About Medieval Armor, Chainmail
Medieval armor, chainmail, and plate for sale at Warborn Blades — mail, plate, gauntlets, greaves, and gambesons. Worn steel and padded cloth — what stands between a body and the day it ends. A real suit of armor is a system: each piece covers what the piece beside it leaves open, and the whole is stronger than any single plate.
When choosing armor, the fit is more important than the steel. Mail (butted, riveted, or welded rings) drapes and conforms but hangs heavy; plate is lighter but must be shaped to the body that wears it. A gambeson — the padded coat worn beneath mail or alone — is the foundation of any armor kit. Every ware page states the steel gauge, the ring type for mail, and the size for plate pieces.
Every piece in this hall is held by a licensed dealer and ships from the United States. The Herald's guide to medieval weapons covers the evolution from mail to plate over three centuries of warfare.

Questions at the Door
- What medieval armor, chainmail & plate does Warborn Blades carry?
- 69 pieces stand in The Armoury today — mail, plate, gauntlets, greaves and gambesons. Worn steel and padded cloth — what stands between a body and the day it ends. Every piece is held by Warborn Blades as a licensed dealer of melee arms and armor, and ships from the United States.
- How much do medieval armor, chainmail & plate cost?
- In this hall the crown runs from $29.00 to $654.99, with the middle of the rack near $179.99. Every price shown is the price paid — no hidden dues are added at the vow beyond lawful sales tax and carriage.
- How long are these pieces?
- They measure 6" to 60" overall. Each ware page states its own reach; where a measure was not given by the forge, we say plainly that our reckoning is an estimate rather than pretend to a number we were not told.
- Do I have to be eighteen to buy?
- Yes. Warborn Blades sells edged and impact arms only to buyers eighteen years or older, and the gate verifies age before any steel is shown. Some states and cities restrict particular patterns; the buyer is responsible for the law where the parcel lands.
- What if the steel arrives damaged or is not what I wanted?
- Unblooded steel may be sent back within 30 days of arrival. There is never a restocking toll — the full price of the piece comes back to you. The road home is yours to pay, unless the piece came to harm on the road, was faulty, or was not what you ordered; then the house bears the carriage both ways. Speak to the Steward's Ear and a return writ is issued the same hour, or call the house at 1-800-368-8131.
