Description: SCP-1147 is a polished set of Gothic Armor roughly 1.789 m tall. The armor comes complete with gauntlets, lower leg armor, helmet, upper body armor and a sword. The set has been estimated to date between 1300-1500 A.D.. Despite it's age, the armor has maintained it's shine since it's uncovery by archaeologists in 1956 buried underneath Mt. Saint Helens. How the armor came to America is unclear and is still being researched by historians. The armor was acquired by the Foundation during transport to the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. after the armor fell out of the back of it's transport vehicle and collided with a Dump truck stopping it instantly.

Tests have shown that the armor is made out of an unknown, extremely dense form of steel and is unmovable when struck with speeds exceeding 20 MPH. The armor is invulnerable to melting temperatures and further attempts to destroy SCP-1147 have proven to be futile.
Personnel wearing the armor have been affected and have displayed signs of incredible strength while active.
