Full Suit of Armor Southern Germany, ca. 1510–1540. So-called Maximilian helmet with a one-piece hammered, ribbed skull cap and a flat crest. Interior shows hammer marks, a repair spot riveted during the armor’s active use, and lining rivets with a replaced leather strap. Separately riveted neck guard with triple-slotted neck protection. The central strip of the latter features worn etched decoration. Visor and chin guard reproduced around 1900. Cuirass with a central ridge, slotted arm openings, a double-slotted belly band, and five-slotted leg pockets. Back with a triple-slotted butt band. The interior shows hammer marks; like the arm and leg armor, the interior surfaces are coated with orange-red minium. The arm armor features laced, triple-embossed shoulder pieces, elbow plates, and five-fold embossed forearm guards; the finger guards are missing. The flying discs are missing. The leg armor features knee plates and riveted ringwork still attached to the lower ends of the shin guards. The surfaces, some of which show slight surface rust, require gentle cleaning. Height on display stand: 174 cm.
