Description:

This example appears to be a completely homogeneous contemporary suit of armor. The helmet skull is composed of several pieces welded together. The visor has embossed sights with floral scroll designs above them. There is a plume holder. The bevor latches to the skull with a swiveling hook and a post with a piercing. The breastplate is embossed with a mythological face with floral scrolls. The front of the pauldrons are embossed with a bust of a soldier and there is a strip of embossed floral scroll down the side. The elbow and knee cops are also embossed with floral scroll designs. Welded finger gauntlets with pointed spikes on the knuckles. The edges are rolled and roped throughout. The tassets have a brass double headed eagle coat of arms. There is a crown over the eagle heads and the shield on its chest has a castle in the upper left and lower right. The lower left and upper right have a rampant lion. With a 93 1/2 inch long contemporary halberd. The head screws into a socket on the end of the shaft. Stands almost 9 feet tall with base and halberd.

Rating Definition:

Very good overall. There are some scattered scratches and some patches of discoloration. A very impressive suit with numerous embossed elements, that would be standout in an office or for foyer setting.
