The Armour Archive

Thank Durasteel for inspiring this.

I'm sure some of these have been posted before, but I know not everyone has seen them. They are pics I have collected over the last two months in the process of putting together an early 15th century harness. Dont ask for sources or info as I have no idea. If I saw a pic that looked useful, I saved it without references. Almost all of the pictures are between 1420 and 1445 and as best I could, they are northern european/german in origin. This is mostly for those interested in kastenbrust style armour, as there are few pics on the archive of them.
