Hello people.

I was looking at some milanese armour diagrams from the following site:

http://198.144.2.125/Armour/armour.htm
(Taken from LE ARMATURA DI S. MARIA DELLE GRAZIE DI CURTATONE DI MANTOVA E L'ARMATURA LOMBARDA DEL '400)

And i found two models wich i haven´t seen earlier. Can any of you guys help me with any photo of a reproduction or the original version of the armour of the following diagrams?

Thanks.

I think i have seen the plackard in the Venetian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni. I´m not sure at all. [ Download ]

I have moved this topic to the Historic Arms Talk forum.

Please note the description for this forum:

"Discussions of reproduction and authentic historical arms and armour from various cultures and time periods"

Thank you.

I can't help you with the second example, but I believe the first one is taken from an armor that was never made--that for the Earl of Warwick--that exists only as an effigy. I will attempt to post a picture of a small version of this harness built just as a model of the real thing, and you can go here:

to see a modern reconstruction of this harness by the top armorer in the country, Robert MacPherson.
