Where from this extremely decorated German gothic armour?
I am trying to find out where from this suit of armour? I’ll be grateful if someone tells me the museum’s name or catalog where there are it’s photos.

Looks like Helmschmiedt's gothic armour...but no info about museum or number..
Anton,

Take a look through these galleries, I don't recognize it off the top of my head, but you may be able to find it or something similar here: http://www.arador.com/gallery/index.html

Try the Metropolitan Museum ( New York ) I have a picture of this armour in

" A GLOSSERY OF THE CONSTRUCTION,DECORATION AND USE OF ARMS AND ARMOUR In all Countries and in all Times " by George Cameron Stone.

Page 27 figure 2 German latter part of 15th century. Sorry, no more information than this caption in the book.
Alexander and Michal, thanks for links.

Jean, I have the book " A GLOSSERY OF THE CONSTRUCTION,DECORATION AND USE OF ARMS AND ARMOUR In all Countries and in all Times " by George Cameron Stone. And I have already asked from Metropolitan museum. They say they haven't that armour in their collection. That's why I am trying to find out here in this forum.

Anton,
I thumbed through my museum catalogues with little luck. I can tell you where that harness is not pictured. It's not pictured in the these:

Royal Armour in Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum (Liebrustkammer)
Deutsches Historisches Museum (Eisen-Kleider)
John Woodman Higgins Armory Catalogue of Armor
Cleveland Museum of Art
Fine Arms & Armor: Treasures in the Dresden Collection
European Arms & Armour at Kelvingrove
Treasures from the Tower of London
Medieval and Renaissance Splendor (Ringling Museum or Art & Higgins Armory Museum)
The Art of Chivalry (Metropolitan Museum)
Arms & Armor (Notable Acquisitions - Metropolitan Museum)

I looked quickly through all my other books on armour and found no exact match.
