Armor Links

We have been collecting these links for some time. We are still in the process of adding to and cataloguing them. If you know of a link that you think should be added to this list please e-mail it to us and we will review it.

When buying blades and accoutrements of any type the transaction is always buyer beware. There are many fake and poorly constructed swords out there so we make no recommendations about these links. The descriptions you see are for information only and should not be construed as any form of recommendation. If the forgoing sounds like legalese intended to protect our buts, well — it is. But we equally don't want to see you conned so if you plan to spend a serious chunk of change start by joining a club or association and talking to people who know swords.

Arms and Armor Manufacture: Located in central Europe. This site is slow to load but is certainly worth a look. Some nice looking swords and full armor. You will have to e-mail them to get pricing info.
Katchushi: Armor restoration.
Medieval Reproductions: Based in Calgary Alberta, they make the most amazing armor. Not having worn any we can't speak for it's comfort but it is amazing in every respect. Great pictures and don't miss the signature piece shown on the home page, look in the premier collection on the armor page.
Manning Imperial: They have some beautiful swords and armor. Prices are up there but the swords look superb. We were supprised that there were so few images of the swords on the site.
Token Konno: Sword polishing and restoration. The site also has an interesting line of Japanese armor.
Seven Stars Trading Company: This site is often slow to load but interesting once done. Specialising in old Chinese weapons, photos are good and there is usually a good selection.
Shogun Armory: Fine japanese armor avilable.
Quinn Studios - Japanese Armour: Some nice pieces. Definitely worth a look.

Thank you to all contributors of these links. You know who you are. Please forgive my use of your descriptions because they are likely far more eloquent than mine. I can not even claim that English is my second language so I have no excuse.
