Now, you want to go earlier, and I am thinking that I need a nice mid-15th c partial harness! Milanese, however. Although most folks love gothic armour, I just really don't care for sallets, whereas I'm a huge fan of barbutes and armets! I'd love to eventually do a full, Milanese harness in spring, but I think about the pricepoint and get a little dizzy.... ;) |
I hear you. I've always wanted a replica of a particular famous Milanese piece held in Vienna (pic below). But I need to finish my gothic harness first. It's *almost* there, and a few of the pieces will need replacing eventually, and then I might start working on a second early-to-mid 14th century piece.

The one on the right is my second favorite 15th c. harness. My first favorite is the Sigismund of Tyrol piece, also in the same museum.
