Costume Armor
Hi Fernando,
I have been to the Hofburg Armory in Vienna several times but was of course mostly interested in their earliest firearms. I was given the singular chance to take special guns out of their cases and photograph them in broad daylighgt on a balcony some 80 meters above the streets of Vienna - imagine! In a while I will post some photos I took of armor and other interesting things which only they seem to have. Remember this is the Imperial Habsburg armory. BTW, that "girl's armor was actually made for a dude; this specialty of the 1510's to the 1540's is called costume armor and was widely en vogue not only at court "parties". Henry VIII also had some (see attachments): fashionable costume elements imitated in iron. The "horned helmet" illustrated below is the emblem of the Royal Armouries Leeds. Sort of early Renaissance knightly cross dressing ... Michael |

All from roepilami's photo stream on flickr.com. That guy really does seem to have singular expertise in early armor and sure takes excellent images. He seems to travel all the major museums and also photographs all relevant early sources of illustration: armor paintings, sculpture, gravestones etc.!!! He is doing just so great I bet he is an actual scholar! Wish we could invite him to our forum - Jim, what do you think?  We definitely need people like him that can post substantial stuff. Michael |

I came across this on the internet today and was going to start a thread (even though it is a bit outside my general interest), but thought i would search first to see if it had been brought up here before. Apparently it has, once, in this thread. Since it seems to provide some additional information about this amazing helmet i thought i would post the link here for those who are interested.

Brings back memories. Yes it’s highly recommended. That painted sallet from Ulm and the helmet for hawks are incredible...
The Heeresgeschichtliches (Army) museum in Vienna are also highly recommended! |
