Hello people.

I was looking at some milanese armour diagrams from the following site:

http://198.144.2.125/Armour/armour.htm
(Taken from LE ARMATURA DI S. MARIA DELLE GRAZIE DI CURTATONE DI MANTOVA E L'ARMATURA LOMBARDA DEL '400)

And i found two models wich i haven´t seen earlier. Can any of you guys help me with any photo of a reproduction or the original version of the armour of the following diagrams?

Thanks.

Thank you.

I can't help you with the second example, but I believe the first one is taken from an armor that was never made--that for the Earl of Warwick--that exists only as an effigy. I will attempt to post a picture of a small version of this harness built just as a model of the real thing, and you can go here:

to see a modern reconstruction of this harness by the top armorer in the country, Robert MacPherson.
