Description:

This model of armor was a limited run of only approximately 5 made by Valentine Armouries around 1998-99. Robert Valentine is a world renown creator of authentic historical armor reproductions, with many of his creations used in films and movies. This well-made modern copy of 16th century style armor with an "onion dome/heart" maker's mark for Valentine Armouries is visible on the back of the pauldrons and other components. It has fleur-de-lis and scroll repousse decoration and brass floral accents fitted on a black cloth covered display mannequin and a carved wooden stand. Many of the sets in this style in the 16th century originated in Milan. The fleur-de-lis is most commonly associated with the Bourbons of France and Spain but is also used in many other European locales and by other dynasties.

Rating Definition:

Fine with light gray patina throughout on the outer surfaces, dark and rough textured inner surfaces, some surface oxidation/pitting, distinct designs, mild marks and scratches, and generally solid leather. The stand is very good with mild storage wear. Overall a very attractive Full suit of armor, suitable for any office or entry way.
