Gangs of New York Leather Armor
“Gangs of New York” is Martin Scorsese’s 2002 epic cinema masterpiece about the actual conflicts between the Irish who felt they were “true American’s” by the right of birth on US soil, and their brother’s, the Irish who had just come off the boat. And from the moment they arrived, there was battle between them all. . This special item is a leather armor set worn by one of the Dead Rabbits gang in this stunning opening battle sequence. It has the look, and feel of the real thing, and holding it in your hands, you truly feel your are back in time running headlong into battle! It starts with a double-belted cross piece with three metal bolt-buttons, and also includes two leather shoulder armor pieces with rawhide attachments and two leather forearm armor pieces also with rawhide attachments. All the pieces are rough-edged to give them a homemade look and feel. A true collectable from a movie that made Hollywood history. (Cross armor approx 23x14”, shoulder armor approx 11x10”, forearm armor approx 9.5x4”)
