  1. It’s beautiful, obviously, but I guess in the 16th century the full plate armor started to become obsolete with the advent of firearms.

  2. what material is this made out of, and how did they get these kind of intricate designs back then, i know they were one of the mst sophisticated civilisations but fr it is gotta be magic.

  3. -You scratched my armour! I’ll *kill you* for this!

    -Sir, we are already fighting to the death!

    -Don’t you think I *know that*! Now you are being insolent too! Verily I’ll kill you for this, kartoffel!

  4. The equivalent of buying a luxury fast car nowadays just to drive to Burger King at 80 km/h tops. I wonder if mad ex gfs keyed armors back in medieval europe.

  5. “It’s nice armor, I’ll give you that. But the engraving gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever”

  6. Clearly a work of art.. And a symbol of power..
    As only a very high ranking individual could have such an expensive thing.

  7. Maximilian II. was not only emperor of the Holy German Roman Empire, but also Archduke of Austria.

  8. Suddenly those high-level armour pieces in For Honor don’t look all that over the top after all…

  9. best I can do is 100€.
    I have a family to feed and I don’t make any profit reselling it.
    110€ because you are my friend.
