Faulds

New made replicas of medieval helmet, two breastplates, faulds, a halberd and two military marching drums.

Breastplate with faulds attached below

Faulds are a piece of plate armour worn below a breastplate to protect the waist and hips. They take the form of bands of metal surrounding both legs, potentially surrounding the entire hips in a form similar to a skirt.
