Taking a trip to PA this weekend to get a behind the scenes look at the armor at the Philly museum. Lots of cool stuff there, so have a look and let me know if you want pics of anything. PMA Arms and Armor Collection |

That's going to be an awesome trip I'm sure. Stock up on inspiration while you're there! |

Sir Eric, snap some pics of any transitional armour sets. Perhaps 1350-1400. Considering that a churberg breastplate stops just short of the ribs, I wanna see what options were there for protection below this. I know that a chainmail skirt was common, but I have also seen instances where the churberg was either covered in suede (seam down the middle) or replaced with a coat of plates covered in suede. Either way, suede-covered plates hang down to protect the upper legs. There are 6 plates and they completely encircle the wearer. Flaps of chainmail are beneath that. Any pics as to the variety of transitional armour is what I'm looking for. Since this was a period of change from chainmail to plate, I'm sure I have freedom to do a few different things. |
