Indeed it is! It's a nice place not too far from my home, that's crammed chock full of old trinkets. Kind of like a tiny museum. I stop by there from time to time just to take a little tour around the place. He doesn't have much else in terms of arms and armour, but this set of armour been guarding the door for a few years now. }|<oD
Personally I have no way to judge the age of it, as my only knowledge of armour comes from reading a couple of Ewart Oakeshott books and watching some Matt Easton & Tobias Capwell videos. While I enjoyed that bit of exposure I doubt I could spot a Victorian era replica if my life depended on it.
I'm half tempted to buy the cannon ball, but I suspect I can't lift it. }|:oP
