Cool pictures!
Is it just me or does the segmented breastplate have holes located for what looks to be an arret?

I don't think anyone could answer this...
This "breast plate" could be a part of a coat of plate or a corrazina. The arret shouldn't be on it. The arret has been made for jousting, during the XV and XVI centuries, not on the war harness of the XIVth. The rivets should have joined the plates with leather or other garment. Maybe these holes were for rivets, too ?

Urbain,

I am not sure that the arret is for jousts alone. All/many armour of the Milanese style and Gothic in the 15th for mounted horsemen have arrets, including war harnesses. The arret would be incredibly useful I assume in war although, myself, I have only ever used one in joust. (Doubt they have much use now in war). The earliest mention of it is in Chaucer so it alos is used in the XIV.

They tend to make rivet holes symetrical which these two are not. They do not have to be for and arret but it seemed possible ant in the right place.

Just two quick examples of art with them in the 14th.
One is Saint George from late 14th.
The second is Walter von Hohenklingen 1386.

Cheers,

RPM

Good pictures those. To me it looks like that breastplate was once part of a coat-of-plates, i.e. it was riveted inside a fabric cover. Happy

The segmented Churburg harness includes a lance rest doesn't it? It dates to circa 1390.

Chad,

That is a good one. I had forgot. The Churburg 13 does indeed have a arret.

THis is a wonderful targe attributed to the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus. It is a French work around 1490.

Thank you for your kind words my friend. Last week I was in Tehran as I gave two lectures at Iranian universities (I will report on it soon).

I was in Paris two weeks ago. I took many pictures. Next time I will let you know so that we could meet there. Thanks again.

Kind regards
