Italian composite suit of armor, circa 1475 Front view

Entirely polished suit of armor from the latter third of the 15th century. Despite the disparity of its elements, they originate in Northern Italy, with some elements even coming from the workshop of the famed Missaglia family of armorers.
On the breastplate and on the head protection, there is a sallet with a visor and a reinforced metal plate. They provide extra protection against shocks and strikes. One of these plates is located on the front section of the sallet, just above the view opening, and the other is attached via a system of rivets to the neck of the breastplate, which is significantly convex but well-tightened at the belt. A different treatment to that of the back section, which is composed of four plates and which doesn't visibly appear to match this set.
This is not the only piece of this suit of armor that appears to be mismatched. There is also the three-stripped codpiece, partially remade, or the pair of tassets, which are more recent than the rest of the suit and which appear to date back to the early–16th century, not to mention the gloves.
To ensure that optimal protection was provided for the head, a bevor was attached to a pointed neck piece to complete the sallet. There was an issue of lacking protection at the join between the seven-bladed, articulated pauldrons and the breastplate, where there was a gaping space without any reinforcement.
The legs were particularly well-covered with cuisse, to which four-bladed poleyns were attached using pivots, along with shin plates with median edges. Finally, a lightweight chainmail covers the feet in the absence of spats.
