 |

I inherited this suit of armor from my father, who had it for about 30 years. I have more detailed pictures if they will help, but ANY information as to what I have, what it may be worth, would be great.
Thank you!

Looks like a modern decorative reproduction, such as one might find from a company like The Noble Collection. The sword it's holding looks like the same. I'm not sure how much it might be worth.

Sam's got it. It is the same company that makes them for The Noble Collection as well as dozens of catalogs and retailers(theres probably a dozen of thier suits on ebay at any given time). I'm probably off on the spelling but I think its Amadura. They've been making these for decades.

Less than if you bought one from them new. They haven't been around long enough to accrue value as an antique. Maybe 1500.00 or so if you can get some one to buy it(these suits are pretty common and all over ebay not to mention mutiple catalogs and web sites).
