The first homogeneous harness , dating from the very end of the 14th century, housed in the famous armour collection at Castle Churburg . The harness has many very interesting features, both because of its high quality, unusual decoration , and intact condition.
The pieces themselves appear to have been from the Missiglian workshops in Milan; they are commonly dated to 1390. The harness is complete with a camailed bascinet , segmented breastplate done in 11 pieces, complete arm harness , gauntlets , a mail hauberk, and knight's plaque belt .

An extraordinary family collection housed in a castle on the Austrian border. Especially strong in armour from the 15th century, it also boasts the earliest homogeneous harness in the world, a 14th century armour including the hauberk, bascinet , breastplate , arm harness and plaque belt . All of the pieces are trimmed in brass and etched with passages from the old testament. The gauntlets are related but do not match the suit; the pair that match are in the Bargello collection in Venice, Italy. The harness is known commonly as "Churburg #13" after the catalog description and it is shown in nearly every armour book because of its rarity and quality. Even the helmet and breastplate linings are intact and the aventail actually matches the bascinet.
