I can't seem to operate my camera and scanner at the same time - camera always dominates, so I have to get rid of the program EVERY TIME I want to use the scanner. Otherwise, I'd attach an illustration, as per Ffoulkes, 'The Armourer and His Craft', p. 54. Look at the upper arms of the last few armours, and you will see a sort of embossed line between the pauldron and the upper cannon. This is a turning bearing. It allows the upper cannon to rotate independently of the lowest pauldron lame. Likewise, the wrist turner on the harness of Louis XIII allows the gauntlets to be directly attached to the wrists, instead of worn separately, which would be usual, but still able to rotate independently.

Are you making or having an armour made for you with this feature (if I may ask)?
Kind regards

Manouchehr;
I would dearly LOVE to have an armour made with rotating cuffs for gauntlets, but as of now, I just gaze upon them with delight, and enjoy them. "One of these days.." as they say.
I also appreciate you're posting the photographs of the duc de Sully's armour. Quite an interesting character he was, right up there with Henri IV himself (though not nearly as flamboyant!). I find those other "demi-armours" quite nice to look at as well. Thank you.
Cheers!

HI Gordon,

Kind regards

Thank you very much James. I think I need to see the picture. I will order the book. I need to buy some books on European armor.

Dear friends,
Some related terminology in French, English, German and Spenish. I took pictures of them as I thought that would be interesting for you (thanks to my wife who made this suggestion).
Kidn regards

Yes, indeed.........thank you very much Manouchehr ........Nathan is right. For so many of us it will be quite a long time if ever that we could get to Europe as much as we would all like to. I spent a year working in central China where the terracotta warriors are and , as exciting as that was, its not exactly my main area of interrest to say the least.
The workmanship in your photos is amazing. Esp the Royal harness with the rows of tiny fleur-de-leys across each lame ! It would be great to do a Museum-hop across Europe ! So many things to see. Mty friend, who had never been to Paris before, arrived for the first time at night and booked in to the Hotel. After setteling in he went down to for his first walk in Paris and went outside the Hotel and immediately saw a woman walking her Leopard !!
Once again ...thanks very much Manouchehr ...we appreciate the time taken to share all these images with us !
Cheers.

Hi Nathan
You are very welocme. It is a pleasure for me to share the pictures with my friends here. IF anyone needs to write an article on any of these items let me know and I will send the pics with higher resolution. I am sure ina photoshop one could work on them. THe museum is really one of the best on European arms and armor. It is a magic.

Cornotaion sword of Don Martin.
Who was Don Martin?
Spanish work 1290. Look at the surface of the blade and how well-preserved it is taking its age into consideration.

Here is a short article in Wikapedia on the Duc de Sully, a rather interesting fellow indeed!
