    So would that be worn by like a Janissary or Sipahi?

      Probably not by Janissaries. Janissaries were generally archers (early period) or musketeers (most of their existence), and heavy armor is more a burden than a help for those disciplines.

      Very likely an option for Sipahis, though, who were noted to fight in heavy armor!

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
