Interesting, in that it varies from the norm. Typically, these armors
are chiseled with a continuous series of grooves which radiate from a central hub, and run to within 1cm of the edge. This one appears to have been made privately, perhaps by a culture influenced by the Ottoman, but not of it. |

On the second picture there is a vague arsenal stamp: St. Irene? If so, that would make it very Ottoman I guess.

It would mean simply that it was deposited at the St. Irene's arsenal at one time or another; captured arms as well as Ottoman were stored there in profusion.

Forum has very little coverage of Armour and I thought to put that right. I would like to float a few items in broad support of this thread and see where that goes thus in the end produce a sizeable collection overall on the styles of armoured suits, footwear, helmets, shields, and also Horses armour to give a general picture of the subject... So in no particular order here goes;
