Well, the first two include the wooden base and stand--no idea how much those might way alone. Could be quite a bit! And those may be *shipping* weights, including packaging, padding, etc. Though the armor itself could still be too heavy!

For the last one, 17 pounds doesn't sound too far out for that whole cuirass including fauld and tassets. My 18-ga Roman lorica segmentata is 15 pounds, so it's comparable. Though I suspect that cuirass is rather large, and probably too long. It all adds up.

It shouldn't be allowed to exist, let alone weigh that much.

*Specs may vary slightly from piece to piece.

We reserve to make whatever bs we like and pass it off as 'museum quality', whatever the heck that means.
Actually, I have a 1920's armour stand here and even made out of very chunky walnut with huge cast iron feet and sockets for the Oak upright and bars it wouldn't be more than 50lbs. Which means that harness is super heavy.

Not that I'd bestow the name harness on it. That implies some kind of skill and functionality.

The GDFB Milanese is 16 gauge body and limbs, 14 gauge head, so the armour isn't that heavy. The Gothic is 18/16 gauge, so should be lighter.

As above, either the stands are very heavy, or they're shipping weights (which will include the stands as well).

An owner of the Milanese reports the weight of the armour itself as 75lbs, including voiders:
