It is based on one of the Churburg armors shown in LE ARMATURA DI S. MARIA DELLE GRAZIE DI CURTATONE DI MANTOVA E L'ARMATURA LOMBARDA DEL '400, See the link below. http://198.144.2.125/Armour/ItalianArmour.htm

Yes, I have an 8 year old Percheron gelding, 17 hh, 1700 lbs approximately, by the name of Monte, short for Buffomante, 'Beautiful Mountain'.

That armor's going to look great sitting atop a big Percheron.
