Was I Too Harsh in my Tests?
Here is my perspective on testing reproductions of historical arms and armor, what I expect of them, and why. I don't claim to be an expert, and I like to keep an open mind with regards to constructive criticism, so feel to let me know how you think my tests and reviews could be improved.
Overall I think that a reproduction, especially in the $500+ range should be able to do what historical originals were expected to, especially considering the superior quality of modern materials.
