Lots of guys here should be able to do it for you. It would probably be a custom order thing and take a bit of time to get done.

Valentine armory may be able to get you something very similar and may have it in stock, not sure how they operate tho.

Some questions you're going to get asked:

What do you plan to use it for? LH, WMA, and SCA will all have separate requirements. For renfaire costume use, I'd get something that met one of the above, and make it capable of crossing into that area.

Do you want a back plate to go with?

Do you want all the tassets and faulds? What about tha arm harness too?

What is your time frame and price range?

Not that I could do it (or more articulate would attempt it at this time) but these are things others will probably want to know.

If I recall correctly, that is one of the Alemain Rivet munition suits. Clang does a pretty good copy of that.

I need it for SCA heavy Combat. My time period is 1550 and I play a Landsknecht. I can make the tassets and all the rest my self but I cant make the Breastplate. My budget is very tight so I cant spend much. But I am of course I am willing to pay for good work.

Thanks

I'd shoot Patrick Thaden an email.

He does great work for a reasonable price.
