By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/weapons-for-the-vatican.htmlNow it is increasingly difficult to meet people who are engaged in traditional crafts. The Schmidberger brothers make armor for the Vatican's Swiss Guard at their blacksmith shop in Meaulnes, Austria. It takes 120 hours to make some armor, which is almost identical to the original armor forged 500 years ago. For fifteen generations, the Schmidberger brothers ' family had been engaged in blacksmithing, and Georg and Johann continued this tradition.
