Hello Udo,

that is a fantastic moro armour!
I have had one several years ago, bought from a Dutch antique dealer.
It wasn't as nice as yours, and fully made of brass, also the plates.
Remembering my armour, it was indeed quite heavy, which certainly would be necessary to resist heavy blows with swords.
But at the other hand, carrying armour with horn plates, would make you more agile in a man to man fight.

Again, a very lovely piece you have in very good condition!
Thanks for posting,
Maurice
