Greetings. Need help identifying the parts of an armour:

In my opinion, that probably could be the parts of tasset. But maybe somebody can tell me more.
And I have no opinion about this...:

So, please, help me. Many thanks!

First pic: I'll go for a tasset, too.
Second pic: Maybe part of a brestplate, if you see where I'm coming from.

As for the other two, not quite sure.

I'd have to agree, the first picture is definitly part of a tasset. And again i agree that the second piece is part of a breastplate. The last two pictures have a rolled or worked edge, with rivets in the middle. A wild guess here, it looks kind of curved, I can't really tell from the pictures. A more probable guess is that it's a strap attachment piece from a breastplate or a backplate.

Happy searching.

Hi Folks,

Well the first seems to be the top piece of a right hand side seventeenth century pikemans tasset. But the second piece is a bit of a conundrum. My guess is that it is the top of a back plate , perhaps from a Polish style laminated cuirass. Alternatively, it may be part of a brigandine. However, to me it appears to be of mid seventeenth century workmanship.

Just my two pennies worth.

Regards,

Russ

Many thanks!

But don't relax, because I have the new riddle for you ;)

Look there - http://i29.tinypic.com/n67t7a.jpg

This is the armour from the end of the 14th century.
What do you think about that?

Coat of plates.

I've recieved a new photo of that unidentified part of armour. Just take a look...
