Musée de L'Armé, Paris

The national armour collection of France, the museum is especially strong in 16th century pieces, although they have a few very fine individual pieces from the 14th century, such as a guilt kettle-hat meant for Royal use; a full leg harness for a boy, and a very fine fragment of a sabaton .
