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.
