The components of this suit of armour copy, appear to show primarily Italian and German influences and appears to be based on common styles found in the late 16th to early 17th centuries in the transitional period from full plate armour to three-quarter and half-plate styles during the adoption of pike and gunpowder warfare. The suit is not heavily adorned but many of the pieces show rolled edges with roped border decor. The helm is of the "close burgonet" variety composed of three pieces, with hinged oreillettes, a large keel-like comb, and a pierced falling buffe, retained to the helm with a leather strap. The breastplate shows a central crease and a short flared tace at the waist, which the cuisses are attached to with leather straps. The large pauldrons are made up of several lames and provide ample armpit protection along with full arm and hand protection, terminating in gauntlets with articulated fingers. The suit features full frontal leg and foot protection, including articulated cuisses and sabatons made up of multiple lames. The interior of most of the plates has a black enamel finish. It stands approximately 6 feet tall including the wooden base, and approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall from the bottom of the foot to the crest of the helm.

Very good, showing mostly an attractive bright grey patina overall with some scattered light speckling of oxidation and pitting, and a few areas showing a darker grey patina. The newer leather straps are in near new condition. Overall an attractive suit of armor that is ready for display!
