Lovely item This may actually replace the Munich style for my favorite style of brigandine now.

Can we see the interior of the plates

[@diegoguerra8736]

Awesome. Whats the function of those chains?

[@charlottewalnut3118]

I believe you hooks them in the weaponry so that if you drop it, it won’t go missing

could be for helmet retention as well. Especially given the time period and region some people wore great helms with a small helm underneath and remove the great helm for vision and breathing, but you dont want to lose your helm on the battlefield so you chain it to your armor. Also if it was used as parade armor they could remove the great helm and not have to lug it and ride a horse at the same time.
