Antonius Bracers

"The most beautiful man in the realm with the most beautiful name requires the most beautiful armour." cooed the leathersmith.

"Right, so what do I get to buy?" replied the very ugly man.

The Italian company "Fucina del Drago" is famous for its beautiful leather products. They only use high quality leather and materials. Elaborate embossing and the antique patina make their pieces of armour a real eye-catcher.

Sold in pairs.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.

As one of the warriors of your Viking tribe, you travel frequently. It’s a hard life and one that is not kind to the weak. If you cannot keep up you will be left behind.

Your many travels require armour designed to last. You rely on such pieces as your RFB Viking Bracers to keep you going strong! Along with your sword, sturdy shoes and your skill, you expect that you may please the gods in many battles. You certainly have the warrior’s instinct.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Viking Bracers are fancy leather bracers designed to protect the forearms. The armour is constructed from leather straps cut from chrome-tanned, split leather, and weaved together to create a beautiful design. The armour is secured to the arm by sturdy leather straps and brass buckles.

This armour is hemmed with additional soft split leather to keep the armour from deforming with excessive wear. This armour matches our Viking Armour and Greaves, but has a distinct, neutral style that will fit with almost any combination of costuming for your first adventure.

HISTORY

• Inspired by lamellar armour worn by the Vikings, which would have included small iron plates
• Historically, using only leather as armour is factually inconclusive--most Viking wore ordinary clothing and used a shield as protection

SIZING NOTE

Full Length: 23 cm

Width at Wrist: 21 cm

Width Below Elbow: 25 cm

The best made armour is crafted by the most skilled smiths, the leather worked with such precision and care that the wearer can move unhindered, but still protected on the battlefield.

You have commissioned a leather crafter to create a pair of Samurai Bracers for you. Before she is paid you want to be certain it is properly made armour, and so you conduct a test. With the bracers properly tied to your arm, you perform a series of sword drills, faster than the eye can properly see.

The bracers are perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Bracers are a set of leather vambraces designed to protect the forearms and hands in combat. Made from full-grain leather, these bracers have been sculpted to comfortably follow the shape of the arms. The leather has been hardened and the edges curved to add structural strength that will ensure added protection and longevity.

Comfortably secure the Samurai Bracers by lacing the leather cords on the underside and tightly wrap the heavy cotton fabric around the wrist. Attach the handguard by gripping the cotton cord around the knuckles. Inspired by Asian traditional armour, these bracers are perfectly matched with other products from Epic Armoury’s Asian Universe.

HISTORY

• Hand and arm protection are one of the oldest forms of armour, due to its importance in combat
• This particular style might also be referred to as a demi-gauntlet, due to its limited finger protection

Adjusting the armour tight over your gambeson, your fingers are a little shaky. It’s your first time leaving home on your own, and while you saved up your money to buy this Ready for Battle Bracers, you aren’t certain you’re ready for the adventuring life.

As you make your final adjustments, admiring how secure and sturdy your bracers feel, your mother fusses over your hair. She finally hands you a bag full of a packed lunch. Tearfully, she tells you not to die out there--to come home to their little cottage!--before you set out on the road.

DETAILS

These bestselling Ready For Battle Bracers are a set of armour pieces designed to protect the forearm against weapons and bowstrings. Made from a single piece of chrome-tanned leather and stitched to improve the structural stability and to prevent it from deforming when wet or worn, these bracers are an affordable solution to your costuming needs. Secure the bracers to the arms by lacing its split-leather cord tight through its rows of eyelets.

The Ready For Battle Bracers are a good starting point for a roleplaying career, as they are fully compatible with all Epic Armoury’s leather and metal armours. The style is simple, allowing the bracers to be used with almost any character or setting.

Available in Medium and Large.

HISTORY

• Unlike popular belief, arm protection was only called a “bracer” if it was meant to protect the forearm of an archer.
• Forearm protection not intended for an archer would have been called a “vambrace” or “forearm guard”
