Tower of London, England.

Here is another fine example of Matthes Deutsch medieval armor work, forged from the original on display in the Towerof London. The gorget’s and bevor’s four sectional system allows for perfect mobility for foot soldiers and cavalry. The bevor can be lifted and left raised or lowered with a locking system.
