6th Century Bell Cuirass | Greek Bell Cuirass

Price range: $330.00 through $450.00

6th Century Bell Cuirass is a special piece of body armor that is believed to have been used between the 4th and 6th centuries. It is an inspiration from the famous and widely used Greek Bell Armor and has similar features. The abdominal curve is very similar to a Greek bell cuirass but it flares outside more than the original bell armor. The Pectoral muscles also have embossed spirals in the same shape as the abdomen, it gives the cuirass a well-defined style. The collar is added to the neck to give an additional aesthetic to the cuirass.

Our replica has hinges and rings on both sides but it can also be made with fixed hinges on the right-hand side only. The left side has overlapping front and back plates, fixed tubes through which pins go to fasten the cuirass tightly.

  1. I recently received this Bell Cuirass after having sent my measurements up to the smiths of Al-Hamdd. When I received it I was pleasently surprised by the albeit utilitarian, but functional and efficient design of the cuirass. I put it on to test my mobility and aside from the expected drawbacks that are to expected when wearing armour (since some mobility is sacrificed for protection), I was content with the design, its’ look and construction.

    The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because of the shoulder pins. The pins fit through holes, but not nearly tight enough for them to not fall out when under duress (for instance during stage fighting or LARP in my case). Now I have to wedge the pins in an alternate position as to make sure they can’t fall out. I would recommend a change in the design of the shoulder pins as make them fit more tightly.

    All with all, I can recommend this product wholeheartedly. And as a bonus, the communication with al-hamdd was professional and curtious throughout.

  2. Cuirass is amazing! Looks great and is well made. I ordered it with a Corinthian helmet and they go great together:)
