This fine armor was intended to be equally suitable for war or the tournament. For the tournament, it is designed for foot combat in which two adversaries fought armed with poleaxe or broadsword. The rules for combat confined attack to the upper body. It could be used as well for mounted events with boot stirrups and accessory pieces as needed. The armor is designed to deflect rather than absorb blows and has as strong central ridge from the crest of the helmet to the waist. The pauldrons are e ...click for details

This fine helmet is
probably the product of a Milanese workshop. The heavy one piece iron
skull is large enough to accommodate the internal padding needed for
the tilt. The roped comb provides a cushion against a blow or cut. The
hinged visor is flanged to seat in the upper bevor which is notched to receive the visor lifting peg. The bevor is cut with nine breath slots on the right but smooth on the left side which is the lance impact side. The lower bevor (chin piece) has a pivoting hinged ...click for details

The form of this
helmet is characteristic of Nuremberg burgonets made in the last
quarter of the 16th century. Its one piece skull rises to a high
backswept comb which is beautifully etched each side with mythological
creatures surrounded by foliage on a gilt ground etched in minute
pellets. On the right side is a mythological lion, the left a griffin.
Most original gold remains. The skull, brim, cheek pieces and neck
guard are all etched in matching scrolling foliage on pellet ground.

This armor predates
and certainly must have served in the English Civil Wars. It comprises
six pieces, including its original gorget. It dates to the period of
transition from lighter armor to shot proof. The breast-plate is
provided with lugs for the attachment of a reinforcing plate allowing
flexibility to adapt from guard to combat mode. See item #698,
following for a related reinforcing breast-plate. It is mounted on an armor stand with a original antique coat of a Yeoman of the

form. Another example, lacking its neck

pl.18c. The one piece skull has a line
bordered roped crest with a bead flanked by double borders delineating the base
and retains its original plume holder and rosettes. This helmet was made for field (battle) use
rather than the tournament. The neck
plates date to the early 17th century when the helmet was r ...click for details

This shield was made to be used in battle as well as on the tournament field and is equally suitable for both. Its large size provided a substantial measure of protection but also required extensive practice to be used effectively for extended periods of time. Its low conical form helps it deflect the blows of sword, axe or mace. The edge is thickened to prevent cutting and the floral motif plate surrounding the central spike is designed to catch and foul an adversary’s blade. Even a momentary e ...click for details

Pierced opened back swept axe blade with curved back spike opposite. Short diamond section fore spike. Line bordered socket with scroll engraved decoration. This axe relates to axes and hammers with heads of elongated proportions, which evolved in Italy in the last quarter of the 16th century, and are distinguished by their long back spikes. An Oriental influence is obvious, though whether it came directly from Ottoman examples or from Eastern European examples influenced by them is debated. The ...click for details
