Gorgets demonstrated a very effective method of protection that´s been confirmed by the extense of his use. It was very habitually used as the only piece of armour on the 16th and 17th C. It was also sometimes used as a demonstration of your status. Perfecto to complete your 1600´s soldier outfit.
This model projects a little neck deflector for better protection and uses a simple metal clip system.
