Published by Paladin Press in 1999, Techniques of Medieval Armour Reproduction (TOMAR) remained in print until 2017, when Paladin closed their business. A limited number of copies are available at the URL below. Intended for the practitioner market, TOMAR is a massive tome of 660+ pages and more than 600 photographs and illustrations documenting the fundamentals of metalwork and engineering employed in the reproduction of medieval armour. Anchored in basic techniques, it was always intended that a follow-on advanced book be completed which would include more intensive techniques such as raising, square edge-rolling, locksmithing, and the like. The book has earned hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon and has been called the "bible" of armouring. Find it here: https://brianrprice.com/.

This thesis is an interdisciplinary study of medieval armour, with the goal of determining the precise techniques used by medieval armourers in the practice of their craft. The corpus for this research is from the collection of the Royal Armouries, as well as a selection of objects from other museums, with a focus on German and Italian armour between 1400 and 1500. The thesis makes use of a new methodology by which the armour itself is used as a primary source, in essence a text, using the interpretation of tool marks left on its surfaces. Although metallurgical studies have been undertaken on armour, the marks have not been systematically studied in the past and provide a means by which the techniques of the medieval armourer may be identified. The thesis also makes use of inventories, artwork, and experimental hammerwork to more accurately understand the workshop environment. Inventories show the variety of tools required in the workshop, as well as what would have been available ...

International audienceAt the end of the Middle Ages, armor was considered both an object for everyday military use and a luxury attire. Furthermore, war practices have undergone major changes both on the technological level (appearance of english longbows or firearms) as well as the organizational one (development of mercenary companies). Accordingly, defensives arms were adapted to suit these new needs. Following the wider socio-economic conditions, it became a marketed commodity with a range of diverseproducts addressing an equally diverse range of customers. Its fabrication dominated by several prestigious centers like Milan or Nürnberg, required specific technical skills to shape the ferrous alloys. Therefore, the study of armor manufacture and tradeoffers great opportunity to understand the European exchange of war materials, techniques and skills, as well as metal selection based on the artifact's purpose. In that perspective, several dozen artefacts fabricated in European...

In 2006, an opportunity arose for conservators and curators from the Royal Armouries to conserve and study important horse armour from India. The armour is one of the earliest acquisitions from the Indian subcontinent in the museum and is usually on display. The armour is formed of iron and copper alloy plates joined by links of mail, and retains a lining of quilted textile. Study and treatment revealed unknown details of the construction and restoration of the object, including an unusual type of mail link not widely published. Conservation treatments included cleaning using Melinex barriers that allowed both textile and metal to be cleaned without separating the lining from the armour, the selective removal of previous restorations to balance aesthetics, non-destructive reinforcement of weight-bearing plates, and localised humidification to relax and reshape the lining.
