Historical Arms & Armour Institute Guild

In 2008 a Group of European Armourers, felt the need to form an authoritative institute of Historical Arms and Armour based in Malta. Amongst other functions the Institute shall protect and give fine armour craftsman a higher degree of trustworthiness and identification, and educate the would be armourer in achieving accurate and faithful results in producing period armour.

This Guild is the only professional organization in Europe with a traditional and comprehensive system of marking fabricated functional arms and armour.

Guild members' names and their respective Marks are permanently recorded and they abide by a set of standards of material and workmanship. Their work is clearly identified as genuinely made in the EU. A certificate of origin will be issued to mark its high standard and fine craftsmanship. Another task of the Guild is to promote its Mark of distinction as a symbol of excellence.

The Historical Arms and Armour Institute was established a few years ago by a group of dedicated men, who hold to their heart and have great concern towards our rich European culture, especially that of Malta, The Island of the Great Siege of 1565, the island where the era of the Knight was eased out. Amongst others we have Master craftsmen and Master armourers who have been producing functional authentic replicas of Arms and Armour for the past 25 years.
