Formed of a rounded, medially-ridged main plate projecting forward over the belly and fitted with moveable gussets at the arm-openings, a separate waist-plate and a skirt of three lames. The almost straight neck-opening and the gussets have boldly roped inward turns. The main plate is pierced just below the centre of the neck-opening with a pair of lace-holes. A later hole is pierced just below them. The gussets are secured to the main plate by modern, round-headed rivets at their upper and lower ends. Those at the upper end move within slots in the gusset. Attached to the top of each gusset by a single externally-flush rivet is a small, double-ended buckle with a central tongue, filed decoration and plain rectangular hasp, of which the right is damaged and the left is restored. Fitted within the lower edge of the main plate and secured to it by three modern, round-headed rivets, of which the right one retains an internal washer, is a waist-plate which is flanged outwards to receive a skirt and decorated at the waist-line with a pair of incised lines. Attached to the waist-flange by a modern, round-headed rivet with an octagonal internal washer at either end is a contemporary, but associated, skirt of three upward-overlapping lames, each of which is medially ridged and decorated at the centre of its upper edge with a filed ogee. The rivets occupy modern holes in the first lame of the skirt that have been pierced just to the inside of the original connecting-holes which are now filled with modern, round-headed rivets. The outer ends of the skirt-lames have file-roped partial turns accompanied by recessed borders. The lames are connected to one another by sliding rivets near their outer ends, and were formerly connected to one another by internal leathers secured by externally-flush rivets at their outer ends and to either side of the centre. Fragments of the leathers are preserved at the right outer end of the second lame and the left outer end of the third lame. The third lame is fitted at either side with a pair of modern straps for the attachment of tassets, although the arrangement of the rivets and holes in that lame show that the missing tassets were originally articulated to it directly. The straps are retained by the sliding rivets that connect the third to the second lame and by round-headed rivets that occupy modern holes pierced to either side of the centre of the third lame. The right end of the third lame, which was broken off through the slot for the sliding-rivet, is replaced by a modern restoration secured by three externally-flush rivets.

A pair of tassets in this collection (HEN.M.151-1933) which are of later date, but fit the straps of the present breastplate, bear a Henderson ticket marked 'A 16 part'. The 'almain collar' (HEN. M.128-1933) may also, by a process of elimination, be identified as part of the Henderson armour A16. 1540 CE 1540 circa 1540 production reference agent-149652 adlib-agent-149652 0d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98 Unknown South German The breastplate and skirt are bright with light patination and some patches of pitting, especially at the gussets which show some rust-perforations. reference term-106356 adlib-term-106356 172bc668-c96c-3553-a7e3-9adbe68c760a 16th Century, Mid reference term-107815 adlib-term-107815 f41b2595-df3f-3974-ab1f-6a950ef5d12d literal Germany Germany country Germany reference term-40136 adlib-term-40136 28e1cd6e-7c25-339f-8cd2-2aaae536a0c5 steel Depth cm 18 Height cm 43 Weight kg 3.099 Width cm 35.3 reference term-77604 adlib-term-77604 0579b348-97ab-388c-ba51-27c35d51bf4e breastplate (body armour) reference term-75825 adlib-term-75825 87dc74d5-090f-3b7a-a54d-245e13041cb8 skirt breastplate with skirt history note Mr James Stewart Henderson of 'Abbotsford', Downs Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex. 1 reference object-18653 adlib-object-18653 1b4dee21-670d-3524-a8eb-2df208ece3a6
