The breastplate is the front portion of plate armour covering the torso, in ancient times was usually made of leather, bronze or iron in antiquity.

Around 1400, these early breastplates only covered the upper torso with the lower torso not being protected by plate until the development of the Fauld (Faulds) are a piece of plate armour worn below a breastplate to protect the waist and hips. They take the form of bands of metal surrounding both legs, potentially surrounding the entire hips in a form similar to a skirt. The Miniature Templar Knight Shield by Marto of Toledo Spain features the Templar maltese cross in red upon a white field. Initially, these Knights of Calatrava were hugely successful and were rewarded by grants of land from the King of Castile. But by 1195, after a surge of new Muslim recruits from Africa, the Knights were overpowered and the Moors retook the castle which they kept for another 17 years. The Calatravas then recovered possession of the stronghold and from there spread to the far corners of Iberia. The usage of a lance rest can be more readily gleaned by looking at the French term "arrêt", or "arrest". The lance rest was not used to simply hold the weight of the lance, as the English name might suggest, but to arrest the rearward movement of the weapon. Hietala, Heikki (1996).

Its name comes from the shape which is very similar to a pot and due to the necessity to offer the best possible protection to the head. However, the view capabilities were greatly reduced letting possible only the frontal view and for this reason this helm was used also by cavalry for charges or tourneys. This model is made in steel enriched by a brass cross used to denote the knight affiliation to the army of God and by a series of traceries in the shape of crosses useful to improve the air access inside the helm. The helm comes with a practical metallic display stand. The Silver Damascene Knights Templar Jewelry Zippo Lighters by Marto of Toledo Spain are a real Zippo lighter. The beauty and nicety of the engraving and the well known practicality of this type of lighter, renowned to inflame in any situation being totally windproof, make this collectible even more valuable and essential for all Medieval age fans.Newman, Sharan (2007).
