Scale armor

Without pretending to know anything about this type of armor, I will just present the following excerpt from the Metropolitan Museum of Art publication.
On a purely observational level, the armor in question looks ...old.
You may wan to contact the Met A&A curatorial staff, perhaps they will help you in further research. If this piece is indeed authentic Spanish scale armor from the 1500s-1600s, it is indeed unique and important.
