Medieval Rus Leg Armor
Greaves armor with knee cops, 12-14th cc.
These greaves are based on authentic XII-XIV century design from Dmitrovka grave in the Kuban (Southern Russia). Construction of these greaves is very unusual. Greaves are made of two parts - greave itself and knee cop united with the main plate by chain mail segment. The main plate has additional plate segment at the outer side for extra calf side protection.
General shape and armor style comes from historical sources and etched patterns are based on same period motifs we've found on jewelry and other armour pieces decorations.
These greaves are part of our Rus medieval armor kit so please check our other items from this collection.

Hello, Can these be ordered as just grieves, without the knee?
Hi Ken, yes it is possible. Please simply leave this request in the comment to your order.
Can these be ordered without the etching? does that change the cost?
You'll save 15% of initial price. To get the discount, please email us at contact@armstreet.com.
Is it possible to etch these in the celtic pattern matching your Medieval Vambraces with Celtic Etching?
Sorry, to date these greaves cannot be made with Celtic etching.
Is there any way to replace the knee cops on these greaves with something in similar style to the Prince of the East style ones? But with the Rus etching? I like the greater knee protection afforded by the other style, but like the etching on this set.
The shape of the knee cops cannot be changed, sorry.
