Mackay, Harbor Hill, Long Island, New York, sold from his estate by Jaques Seligman & Co, New York, 9 November 1940 JWHA Inv. No. 2607 Exhibited 'Medieval and Renaissance Splendor', Ringling Museum, Sarasota, Florida, 9 February - 1 May 1984 The mark struck twice on the lower part of the backplate of the mid-15th century, has been identified as that of the Milanese armourer Giovanni da Garavalle, recorded 1438-74. It also occurs on the leghharness of the well-know 'Avant' armour from Schloss Churburg, now in the Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery, Acc. No. '39-65e (Lionello G. Boccia, Le Armature di S. Maria Delle Grazie di Curtatone di Mantova e l'Armarura Lombarde del '400, Busto Arsizio, 1982, p. 282, figs 46-7, 188a.). Except that it has a demi-visor rather than a full one, the fine sallet resembles one of about 1480-90 in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, Inv. No. IV. 428, from the armoury of the Knights of St John at Rhodes (W. J. Karcheski Jr & T. Richardson, The Medieval Armour from Rhodes, Leeds & Worcester, MA, 2000, pp. 25-6). In its markedly bell-shaped form, it is reminiscent of works attributed to the celebrated Augsburg imperial armourer, Lorenz Helmschmied, recorded 1467-1515 (Arms and Armour Society, The Art of the Armourer, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, 1963, p. 16, nos 28-9; and B.Thomas & O. Gamber, Katalog der Leibrustkammer,I.Teil, Vienna, 1976, pp. 106-8,pls. 34-5 & 40). The pauldrons are strikingly similar in design to those of a partial armour formerly in the Imperial Armoury in Vienna and now in the Hungarian National Museum, Budapest (Claude Blair, 'The Emperor Maximillian's Gift of Armour to King Henry VIII', Archaeologia, Vol. XCIX,1965, p. 37,pl. XIVc,d), bearing the mark of the Flemish imperial armourer Guillem Margot, recorded 1505-20).
