Although made in Nuremberg, this cavalryman\u2019s armor is an unusual mix of different regional styles. The helmet is based on an eastern European type known as the Zischägge, which was inspired by Turkish examples. The pauldrons (shoulder defenses) with their overlapping, fanlike plates are of a type associated with Swiss armors of the period.The armor is stamped with the Nuremberg mark and an armorer\u2019s mark\u2014a shield containing the letters MSI above a pair of shears\u2014that has been attributed to Martin Schneider the Younger.Despite its relative plainness, the armor is very well made. It would have been worn by a cavalryman equipped with a sword, a pair of pistols, and possibly a carbine (a short form of musket).
