Abstract (en)

Technical examination of specimens of 16th c. Italian armour reveals a discrepancy between the claims made in Medici documents and a decline in metallurgical quality evident in the specimens themselves. Reports on the metallurgical analysis of 23 pieces (mostly Stibbert collection, Florence, and Waffensammlung, Vienna).
