I downloaded some photos to the following address:

http://new.photos.yahoo.com/craigputziger/albums

I have a bill of sale dated 1959 with a statement of authenticity, but it is in adobe reader format which can not be put into the above format.

I just found the above refenced documents up until then; I thought the armour was just a reproduction.

Your help woud be appreciated.

Craig, i'm inclined to say reproduction but better pics would help a great deal. By this I mean more detailed, close up of individual elements both inside them and out would help alot twords helping you ID this.

I know a little bit about this stuff (as opposed to parade shields!), and while certain aspects look 'iffy', some of it looks pretty good. Close-ups of the couters (elbows) and gauntlets would be very useful. You've got a pauldron (shoulder) tucked into the breastplate, where it doesn't belong; it should overlap the breastplate. Profile photos of the helm and breastplate would be useful, and we need photos that show the legharness better.
