Coming Soon !! Join Pawn Stars expert Sean Rich with special guests Scott Sommers and Bob Perkins on Season 5 of History Round Table as they examine a rare early 16th-century Townsguard breastplate.
This isn’t the glamorous knight armor you see in museums. This is the real, functional armor worn every day by town guards who patrolled the dangerous streets of Renaissance Europe.
In this episode, the team breaks down the surprising differences between elite knight armor and the practical “working man’s” armor used by ordinary city protectors in the early 1500s — including construction details, battle wear, and why these pieces are far rarer than most people realize.
If you love authentic Renaissance history and arms & armor, you won’t want to miss this one.
