All I can tell you is that it is European, possibly 15th century? :shrug:

European - yes, but I would move the shape of this pauldron to the first half of the 17th century. Few technical things are indicating its age:
- use of brass rivets
- reduced gardbrace - reinforcing plate covering part of the breast.

Regards!
