Interesting looking, must be a cool shop!
A genuine Maximilian style harness like this complete arrangement (most sets of harness are composite at best) would command a small fortune. While I know little on armor, this is really attractive. the Maximilian style was heavily fluted imitating the 16th century fashions.
Looking forward to comments as it would be good to learn more on armor.
My brief exposures to armor, the guy I knew (a then well known arms dealer) was busily dealing with other guys who needed this piece or that to complete a set. There is an entire language of all these parts; pauldrons, tasset, plackart, vambrace etc etc. and it seemed virtually all of them were piecing together sets of armor.
