Cuirassier's Armor: Helmet, c. 1600-20. Austria, Graz(), early 17th century. Steel (originally blued, now black); leather straps; overall: 171.4 cm (67 1/2 in.). The cuirassier was the heavy cavalryman of the late 1500s and early 1600s. Carrying pistols and a sword, he was clad in full armor, with the exception of his lower legs, which were protected by heavy riding boots. Shortly after 1650, such heavy cavalry armor disappeared from use. By then, European cavalries had abandoned full armor as impractical against the increased sophistication of firearms.

Armor for Field and Tilt. Culture: Italian. Dimensions: Wt. 61 lb. 10 oz. (27.95 kg). Date: ca. 1550-75.This armor garniture comes from the armory of the Dos Aguas family in Valencia, Spain. The garniture is unusually large, containing pieces for use in battle and for the tilt in both the Italian and German fashions. The tilt was a tournament fought on horseback between two opponents armed with lances and separated by a lengthwise barrier.The armor as mounted is equipped with a helmet and vambraces (arm defenses) for the tournament. The buffe (chin defense), second breastplate (acc. no. 27.159.2), and manifer (reinforced left gauntlet) (27.159.6) would have been added to make the armor ready for exchange pieces for different forms of the tournament.

Armor from a Small Garniture for Field and Tournament dated 1548, with later restorations Kunz Lochner German Kunz Lochner was one of the few Nuremberg armorers of the mid-sixteenth century to achieve an international reputation. His patrons included the Holy Roman Emperor, the dukes of Saxony, and the king of Poland. This man's armor bears the mark of Nuremberg; Lochner's personal mark, a rampant lion; and the date 1548. The armor was originally part of a small garniture that included exchange elements for field and tournament use. Restorations include the cuirass and the gauntlets.An associated horse armor also in the Metropolitan Museum's collection (acc. no. 32.69) bears only the Nuremberg mark but can be attributed to Lochner on stylistic grounds. The elaborately embossed and etched decoration of the peytral (chest defense) includes an abbreviated inscription that may be interpreted: 1548 Krist Ich Trau Ganz Vnd Gar Hans Ernst Herzog Zu Sachsen (1548 In Christ
