Welcome on Vaňek's armoury pages

I have admired the work of old masters armourers since my early childhood. It used to be my dream to have an armour at home. My dream came true in1989 when I become a member of a historical fencing group. There I began producing my first amateur suits of armour for myself as wel as for the other members. I have been producing armour professionally for more than 12 years; my place of business is in Kopřivnice.
Most of my pieces of work are created in accordance with the customer's requirements. When producing I use material of 1-3 mm thickness and I try to adhere to the cold-working as well as hearth production technologies.
