SOLD A-2 GERMAN FULL SUIT OF ARMOUR. Circa 1560-1590. Early Burgonet of typical form with a one piece skull, raised comb with very nice large rivets and original hinged cheek pieces. The visor of the helmet is clearly stamped with the Nuremberg mark as well as the armourers mark. Fine form gorget, the heavy front and lighter back plate has  roped and rolled borders. Flared skirt with seven plate tassets, the tassets have high rounded rivets which match the helmet. The tassets also have rolled and roped borders. Full arms with three plate Pauldrons also with rolled and roped borders, note the left Pauldron is decorated with an ogee scroll. The gauntlets also have rolled and roped borders. The leg pieces with flared cuisse and articulated knee cops, the lower plate with key locks to the greaves to allow it to be worn as a ¾ suit or full suit of armour The greaves and sabatons with a series of articulated plates above the ankle and across the feet have key lock fastners.  This is a composite suit of armour all parts are from the 1560 to 1590 period with the exception of the fingers of the gauntlets and the leg pieces which are very early Victorian copies. These suits were assembled during the early to mid Victorian era to re-decorate castles and large estates back to their former grandieur. Overall this piece is very impressive and very solid.  $SOLD
