Half Armour

This was a piece that Aaron and I made. This was built for the education department at the Higgins Armory. The lessons learned from the pauldron, arm and gauntlet helped us to get this to work correctly. We made a decision to make it with no welds. Raising wasn't as much of a thing then, so the close helmet has a two piece skull with a rolled overlap at the crest.
