Whether crafting your own DIY Viking armour or modifying your favorite lamellar armour piece, this Set of 50 Black Leather Lamellar Scales is a must-have. Any Varangian guard or Norse warrior should keep these on hand for updating or recreating a historical scale armour look.

Armour Details:

The lamellar scales are each made of thick 13 ounce leather. They have a narrow, rectangular structure. They widen at the center and then taper more narrow at the sides. Each of the 50 scales has four pairs of holes, with one pair per side.

How to Use Armour Scales:

The sets of holes come in handy for different ways to lace the scales together. Use our leather laces to connect the pieces to each other. You can thus use these lamellar scales to create your own completely unique fantasy, medieval, or Viking armour.

Or you can use them to make modifications or repairs to existing lamellar armour, like our Black Leather Lamellar Body Armour (HW-701702BK), sold separately. Use these leather scale armour pieces to update your Viking reenactment kit or create armour for a Norse-themed LARP event.

Historical Inspiration:

Based on an archaeological find in Birka, present day Sweden, these lamellar armour scales recreate lamellar armour. This historical armour style may have been worn by Vikings.

The thick leather scales are great for instances where you want protection that is lighter and more easy to move in than steel. The layered scale armour style would have been favored by Viking Rus and members of the Varangian Guard, who were Norsemen who became mercenaries for the Byzantine Empire.
