15th Century Italian Pauldron Shoulder Armor | Mobility Plate Pauldrons for Buhurt & HMB
This 15th Century Italian Mobility Pauldron Shoulder Armor (Pair) is a historically inspired, fully functional shoulder defense designed for full-contact medieval armored combat. Based on late-15th-century Italian plate armor construction, these pauldrons combine excellent articulation, impact resistance, and combat mobility, making them ideal for HMB, Buhurt, ACL, SCA heavy combat, and historical reenactment.
The multi-lame articulated plate design allows smooth shoulder rotation while maintaining continuous protection over the shoulder joint and upper arm. Each overlapping plate disperses impact force efficiently, reducing shock while preserving freedom of movement during striking, clinching, grappling, and polearm engagements.
Hand-forged from high-quality steel and reinforced with solid riveted brass bands, these Italian-style pauldrons offer both structural strength and period-accurate aesthetics. Adjustable leather straps ensure a secure and customizable fit, allowing easy integration with brigandines, cuirasses, gambesons, or full plate harnesses.
Built for fighters—not decoration—this pauldron set is balanced, durable, and tournament-ready, meeting the demands of modern armored combat while respecting historical design principles.
