would this armour fit together in period

Just wondering of a corrazina and a coburg style bascinet would work together period wise. Thanks for your input.

I should think they should if MyArmoury isn't mistaken.

While the style of the Coburg bascinet looks behind the times for latest fourteenth, MyArmoury.com gives it a c. 1400-1410 date.

Yes I looked at that myself but thought the helm looked a little dated for it.

Thanks

Jolly Knight's site ventures a date of c. 1380. Probably because he thought he couldn't quite believe a date as late as 1400 -- eh, plausible.

Osprey's German Medieval Armies 1300-1500 goes with the c. 1400 also -- secondary source, though.

Just to be different, another Ukraine maker shows us lots of different angles on his take on it, and dates the Coburg at 1385. YMMV, maybe.

I was getting this kind of thing Googling "Coburg bascinet date" -- these were consistently in the 1380-1400 bracket.

Thanks Konstantin. I saw pretty much the same thing but thought it just looked earlier period. The second opinion is appreciated.
