Coat-of-plates from Zürich
Hello
I am looking for any information about coat-of-plates from Schweizerisches Landesmuseum, Zürich known as coat-of-plates from Küssnach. I am interesting about photos, patterns, reconstructions, everything. I found photo from Thoderman's 'Armour from the Battle of Wisby' only.
Greetings
Schweizerisches Landesmuseum, Zurich, Switzerland
Inventory Number: LM 13367
Date: 1325-1350.
Provenance: From the castle of Gesslerburg near Küssnacht am Rigi, in the canton of Schwyz, Switzerland.
Publications: Armour From the Battle of Wisby. Bengt Thordemann (Figs. 318-320). The Knight and the Blast Furnace, Alan Williams (p. 336)

A coat of plates consisting of horizontal bands covering the front and back with three pectoral plates running horizontally in the front and similar ones on the back. On the front of the armour there are five horizontal plates and on the back there are four. The plates are secured with rosette headed rivets. It is equipped with an integral shoulder defense. Williams described the steel ad banded with a hardness up to 390 VPH.

There is a second one as well form the same source as well. See the Wisby reference for it.
