The Armour Archive

Anyone have good detailed pictures of the #13 harness?

In particular, the front, side and back of the breastplate, the arms from different angles, and the legs?

Also looking for the pics of the Bargello gauntlets that go with the harness, not the ones in the picture. Detailed with multiple angles?

Thanks!

The new Churburg book has a few close ups showing the detail of the brass trim on the bp and helm, also has a partial back view of the bp showing the stapping (unlike most reproductions there was barely any movement between the plates).

As to the gauntlets Cad has a picture on his site, only other info I could find was here http://www.fioredeiliberi.org/gallery2/ ... emId=10243

#13 in WHICH collection?

Churburg - got to be. That is the only one where the gauntlets at least appear to be in the Bargello.

Look in L'Arte dell'Armatura in Italia - Boccia, 1967. Some nice pictures of the outside and inside of the breastplate. As I remember some shots of the arms and helmet too.

And of course Carlo's book.

And I bet that there are some shots in the Churburg catalog, but I remember the ones in L'Arte being more fun.

Thanks!
