if you ever want more detailed photographs/studies of that, let me know. I'm a bit of a regular at the Kelvingrove, and should be able to arrange to get close-up detail shots of the entire harness, possibly in seperate sections
I have had a hard time finding any images of his suite...any thing you can come up with would be greatly appreciated.
just to be 100% certain, it's this one you want reference shots of?

I have thousands of photos of armor in my collection and I've seen all the famous ones a hundred times each. There are so many beautiful harnesses and garnitures and sets matching to astonishing bards... But if I could have one suit, it would be this one, for sure. It's unmarked in my photograph collection from some random armor collection in Northern Europe, I believe. Dated approximately 1525.
Why? Because it's
bad ass.
