Author Topic: Request for Pics link Trollope Member Member # 2020 posted 12-09-2007 12:57 PM                Maybe I should include this in my previous topic. Oh, well. The Italian legs that I have, which I thought may be 'transitional' from early 1400's to the more recognizable harness of the later 1400's, seems to resemble the legs that Thaden reproduces on his site, in which he labels them 'legs based on the Mantova B5 suit'. I went to the Palazzo Ducale Mantova website, which I think is the right place, but could find no pictures. Any one out there have any pics of this suit so I can compare notes? -------------------- Now is greater than the whole of the past.
