*Notice*

Black Hydra Armouries no longer makes combat armour.

My thanks to my many past customers. Due to health reasons, I will no longer be taking orders for combat (SCA) armour. I will occasionally be listing instock pieces as I complete past unfinished projects. I will also be listing reproduction pieces from time to time and will be making reproduction pieces to order.

About us:

I am M.J.Peters (in the SCA Lord Kurodachi no Mykaru) and have been making armour since 1991. My love of japanese armour led me to move to Japan in 2003 where I spent 2 years studying armour with some of the greatest traditional armorers in Japan (actually, asking stupid questions after gruelling armour text translation sessions), and spent as much time as possible examining armour both original and reproduction.

Myself at Matsushita-sensei's shop.
