I thought CoP meant coat-of-plates, that looks more like a breastplate. What is it you are looking to see?

That's a nicely made piece. You can see where two sections of cloth were stitched together at the waist. The chest, obviously, has a single breastplate piece. The pieces descending to the waist will be overlapping bands (lower band to the inside), while it appears that the lames flaring over the hips are also overlapping (lower band to the inside).

The first pic I had up was just a breasplae. It was the wrong pic. I suppose this may be classified as a covered breasplate or perhaps something like a corrazina.

I love these and I think it's going to be my next real armour project. Personally, I think it would be much better if it had a three part BP, but it all works close enough to the same. I'd like to see inside pictures as well even though I know hoe they're put together...

The statue of St. George in Prague shows the plates of this piece pretty clearly.

I'm actually kind of working on it. Unfortunately not until I'll go back to Italy in late December. Gonna try to show some pics though...
