Not a bad purchase for my first gorget. I would have preferred to get the leather straps in black instead of brown, but it’s still a very nice piece of armor just the same.

The piece came oiled and semi polished as described. The actual crafting on it is fine. A top notch piece for such a low price.
It appears the rivets around the bottom and top edges got in the way of the polisher so there are a few dull spots int he finish, and it came a bit flatter than I expected and I had to bend it around to fit my shoulders and neck.
Neither of these complications bothered me as it is, as I said, top notch piece for the low price.

Looks great with the warrior breastplate and backplate. Really good for the price

Great piece, comes as advertised. As mentioned, will take some bending to get a perfect shape. Double check before putting it on, I had to file a bur off of one of the inside corners.

Yes, it fits with the warrior pauldrons. Yes, it’s possible to put the whole rig on by yourself (though not recommended.) If you’re going to go with just the gorget and the warrior pauldrons, it’s going to take a little bit of tweaking to get everything to sit right and put it all on without any help. Once you get that out of the way, they look great, don’t weigh you down, and don’t inhibit movement very much. A nice, thick gambeson makes them look even more imposing. And I have no idea how they got the fit in the picture because my straps are on the last whole and it still doesn’t fit that snug overlapping. Works though, all that matters.
