Wow! Now that's what I'm talking about! Spectacular finds and treasures! These are the ones we've got to hold on to to make up for those other times when we're not so lucky in the purchase. I did score an authentic French cuirass breast plate armor being sold as repro once, but not even in the same league as your Maximillian piece. Wow again!

Nowhere near as grandios but I got these 16th century lower pauldron lames on Christmas Eve in an antique store, masking taped together labled " armour pieces " for $30. I reassembled them ( they were just a bundle of plates ). Of note is the slot for a keypin to allow the arms harness and pauldron to be joined to each other.

It's great how a tale of buyer beware can take a positive turn! Keep 'em coming!
