I have a few questions regarding this particular picture. I found the picture on this Croatian (I believe) site: http://www.man.poznan.pl/~ritter/Wierus ... index.html
It looks to me that this particular COP doesn't have plating in he chest area. At least, it doesn't seem to when we look at the back picture. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just that well tailored to the individual?
I've never seen this style if that is the case. Maybe, if it indeed does lack plates, this is for reenactor convenience/comfort?
If there are plates do we think it's one solid chest plate riveted under the leather?
2) Lames/faulds. There seem to be many; I count seven. Again, this seems like a lot but it may be my search-fu is under-coffee'd at the moment.
Does his seem right?
What it all comes down to, really, is I'm wondering if this is a legitimate late 14th century coat-of-plates worthy of attempting a recreation of.
