A Meaningful Recognition During a Milestone Year
Lord of Battles, an international manufacturer of handcrafted medieval armor, authentic chainmail, historical clothing, leather goods and reenactment equipment, is proud to announce that it has received a personal letter of appreciation and exclusive commemorative merchandise from the costume department of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Founded in 2006 by former Indian Army Cavalry officer Capt. Saurabh Mahajan, Founder and CEO, Lord of Battles has grown from a manufacturer into an internationally recognised supplier of historically inspired medieval products. As the industry’s only SMETA-certified medieval manufacturer, the company serves collectors, museums, retailers, historical reenactors, LARP and HEMA enthusiasts, theatre professionals, film and television productions across global markets.
Over the past two decades, Capt. Saurabh Mahajan has led Lord of Battles from a specialist Indian workshop to one of the world’s leading manufacturers of handcrafted medieval armour and historical replicas.
Under his leadership, Lord of Battles has earned a worldwide reputation for handcrafted medieval armour, chainmail, historical replicas, leather accessories, and costume armour.
The personal acknowledgement from HBO A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms was sent by Geri, Costume Buyer for the HBO series, following the completion of a demanding production schedule. Along with the letter, the Lord of Battles team received exclusive A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms production T-shirts crafted in-house by the costume department and traditionally reserved for members of that team.
A Personal Gesture That Reflects Professional Trust
In the letter, Geri thanked the Lord of Battles team for its dedication, craftsmanship, and continued support throughout production. She explained that the commemorative shirts were intended for members of the costume department and that they wanted to extend the gesture to what was described as “our Indian chainmail family.”
The letter concluded with words of appreciation, gratitude and warm wishes for the entire team.
For Lord of Battles, the recognition represents more than a thoughtful gesture. It reflects the professional relationships that have developed through years of supplying handcrafted medieval products to international productions.
Twenty Years of Preserving Medieval Craftsmanship
Lord of Battles has spent the past two decades recreating the medieval world through handcrafted armor, helmets, medieval chainmail, medieval leather goods, medieval clothing, shields, drinking horns, authentic medieval equipment, and historical accessories. Crafted in India by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and modern quality standards, every item is carefully inspected before shipping. Today, more than 200 artisans and professionals contribute to the company’s operations.
With manufacturing operations in Dehradun, India, Lord of Battles combines traditional Indian craftsmanship with international distribution and customer support. Most standard in-stock and regularly stocked products supplied for the production of the series were shipped through Medieworld Europe S.L., a Lord of Battles company based in Spain, for efficient and faster delivery within Europe. Bespoke and custom-made orders requiring specialised work were manufactured at the Lord of Battles factory in Dehradun, India.
Supporting Productions That Bring History to Life
Over the years, Lord of Battles has supplied handcrafted medieval equipment and historically inspired products to numerous internationally recognized film and television productions, including:
The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Rings of Power, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Outlaw King, The Bastard Executioner, Assassin’s Creed, and Merlin.
Today, Lord of Battles continues to serve as a trusted film costume supplier and film production armor supplier, supporting productions that require authentic medieval equipment, historical accuracy, and dependable craftsmanship.
The recent appreciation from the costume department of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms highlights the importance of dependable manufacturing, timely fulfilment, and close collaboration throughout the production process.
A Vision Built on Craftsmanship and Long-Term Relationships
Reflecting on the milestone, Capt. Saurabh Mahajan, Founder and CEO of Lord of Battles, said:
“Receiving personal appreciation from a professional costume department during our 20th anniversary is deeply meaningful for everyone at Lord of Battles. More than anything, it recognises the dedication of our artisans, whose craftsmanship and commitment have been the foundation of our company for the past twenty years. We remain committed to preserving authentic medieval craftsmanship while continuing to support customers, retailers and creative productions around the world.”
Capt. Saurabh Mahajan’s vision has guided Lord of Battles from a specialised Indian manufacturing company into an international medieval brand with operations and distribution capabilities across India, Europe and North America.
Keith Wescovich, Brand Development Director for Lord of Battles, added:
“Over the years, we have had the privilege of building lasting relationships with collectors, retailers and creative professionals around the world. Recognition like this reflects not only the quality of our products but also the trust we have earned through consistency, collaboration and exceptional craftsmanship.”
Keith Wescovich has played an important supporting role in expanding the company’s international presence and strengthening relationships with retailers, collectors and historical enthusiasts, particularly across North America.
Col. Nirmal Mahajan, Chairman of Lord of Battles, added:
“It is immensely rewarding to see the dedication of our artisans and the vision led by Saurabh Mahajan receive international recognition during this milestone year. As we celebrate twenty years, we remain committed to the values of integrity, craftsmanship and long-term relationships that have shaped Lord of Battles.”
As Chairman, Col. Nirmal Mahajan provides strategic guidance and a long-term perspective that continue to support the company’s values, stability and commitment to excellence.
This recognition follows Lord of Battles being named “Best Medieval Armor Manufacturer in 2026,” making it another significant milestone in the company’s anniversary year.
Looking Ahead While Honoring Tradition
As Lord of Battles enters its third decade, the company remains focused on preserving traditional craftsmanship while continuing to grow internationally through innovation, quality, reliable manufacturing and long-term partnerships.
As part of that long-term vision, Krishang Mahajan, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at IE University in Madrid, represents the next generation as the family prepares for the future development of the business. His international education is expected to bring a fresh global perspective as Lord of Battles enters its next phase of growth.
