Looking over the armor section at Medieval Collectibles, I see 'Conqueror's' armor that begins with item #RT-*****. Steel plate over leather....bracers, tassets, body armor, a helmet or two. Nice looking fantasy-style stuff, but does anyone know who makes it? The customer-service agent said she couldn't tell me the makers name due to being under contract.

I think I've seen some of this armor on eBay and Amazon. Any ideas?

That's the armor in question, but I don't think Calamacil is the maker...only a re-seller like MC's. Calamacil has their own page on MC's, just like Epic Armoury and other LARP manufacturers, but apparently this armor is made by a small private company. The service agent I spoke with at MC's said that the maker is under private contract, and not taking orders at this time. Sooo....that leaves me still wondering.
