Medieval Plate Armor Buckle Set - Hand Forged Blackened Iron (Set of 5)

Medieval Plate Armor Buckle Set - Hand Forged Blackened Iron (Set of 5)

These medieval plate armor buckles are the perfect solution for replacing missing or worn hardware on your historical gear. Each buckle is individually hand-forged from solid iron and oil-blackened, replicating the functional simplicity of medieval clasps used throughout Europe between the 14th and 16th centuries.

Unlike many mass-produced alternatives, these buckles are made in small batches by skilled craftsmen who shape, rivet, and finish each piece by hand, ensuring that no two are completely identical. This process not only produces exceptional strength but also preserves the subtle hammer textures and natural imperfections that make your harness look convincingly authentic.

The black oil finish provides excellent protection against moisture, while giving the buckles a subdued, historically inspired look that complements the polished steel plate.

• Thicker, stronger wrought iron compared to stamped or cast reproductions.
• Compact size fits both large harness components and smaller straps
• Historically appropriate shape and profile, ideal for living history enthusiasts and collectors
• A blackened finish that resists corrosion better than raw iron

FACILITY:

• Use solid rivets or heavy duty stitching to attach them to your straps
• Always pre-adjust straps to check tension and movement before final riveting

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Wipe clean with a soft cloth after use to remove moisture.
