Questions about the product The Armory: Historical Weapons & Martial Arts

What different types of historical weapons and equipment does The Armory's range for practicing martial arts include?

The product range includes a variety of historical weapons such as swords, daggers, axes, and maces, as well as protective gear like helmets, chainmail, and plate armor. The selection is complemented by training weapons made of wood or plastic, specifically designed for historical martial arts training.
Which specific eras and regions are covered by the ancient weapons and armor in the Landshut Armory collection?

The Landshut Armory's collection and its associated auctions cover a broad spectrum, ranging from prehistory and antiquity through the late Middle Ages to the modern era (c. 1945). Geographically, the focus is on German and European objects, but it also includes international pieces from regions such as the Orient, Africa, and Asia. Among the exhibits are medieval armor, edged weapons, polearms, as well as military antiques and decorations from various periods, including the German Empire and contemporary history.
What teaching materials and practical guides does the Armory offer for people interested in reconstructing historical craft techniques or learning specific combat techniques?

The Armory offers the book "The Armory: A Compendium of Medieval Close Combat Weapons and Armor" by Michael Störmer as educational material. This work serves as a practical guide, vividly describing the development of weapons and armor and illustrating it with numerous drawings. In addition, the affiliated museums (e.g., in Dresden or Vienna) offer publications on permanent exhibitions as well as lecture series such as the "Armory Talks," which provide deeper insights into historical weaponry and research findings.
What criteria does the Armory use when selecting its products to ensure a balance between historical authenticity for collectors and functional safety for active use in reenactment combat?

The armory classifies its products into different combat classes (SK-A to SK-C) to maintain a balance between authenticity and safety. While SK-A is made of hardened spring steel for intensive combat sports and tournaments, classes SK-B and SK-C offer solutions for light combat, reenactment, or beginner training. Furthermore, historical models and materials are carefully examined to guarantee both visual appeal for collectors and the necessary functional safety for active use.
