This medieval armour came from Milan, Italy (XV century). The original is in the Churburg castle in Sluderno (Italy). This armour belonged to Ulrich IX, lord of Matsch.

The armour pauldrons are made of articulated lames and the trapezoidal tassets are connected by straps. The large basinet (helm) connected with the pouldron and provided with a very narrow eye slit. Jousting tournaments were the heart of medieval pageantry and the joust was a spectacle of a knights sport and skill. This handsome steel replica suit of armor is wearable.
