It has very well rolled edges that are filed away correctly on the under-lap of the cannon halves; where the cannons meet they line up nicely and have no unsuitably large gaps. The halves are attached by two handmade hinges set internally and closing on the other side with a pin. The cannon still opens and closes nicely with a delicate grasp as it is old. Centrally located on each half about 35 mm up from the lower edge is a dome headed rivet which looks like it would have held a leather strap partially remaining under one of them as a secondary fastening strap, positioned like those seen on Milanese cannons of the mid 15th Century.

What remains of the sabaton is constructed of 4 lames with a curved toe cap, but the rest of the lames and heel plate are missing. The sabaton is blackened, most probably from being heat quenched in oil, and is of great form with neat cusping on the plates coming to a dulled point in the centre and a secondary smaller cusp above right of the rivets.

The toe cap sweeps in to form a point, as seen with all good quality sabatons of the 15th century. We consider it to be dated to around and in the South German style. It articulates smoothly, containing washers behind each rivet. These show evidence of being hand cut with the typical shear tooling marks around their circumference and also display imperfections in their shape; not being perfect circles. On the interior below the rivet is a series of punched dots, as found in original armour to indicate the construction order as the lames were often assembled by a different man to one who forged them.

The rowel spur is forged from steel using traditional methods, split on the main square section arm to accommodate the five pointed star shaped rondel which is pierced with five holes. Around the heel plate are three diamond pierced holes supported with three circular holes on either side of them. The buckle is formed from sheet steel and is decoratively shaped in a traditional 15th century style and still retains a strip of leather in appropriately aged condition. The single spur is a 19th Century reproduction of good quality, while the sabaton is so accurately detailed, it could almost fool one into believing it to be an original piece.

However, we are selling both items together as a top quality 19th century reproductions, which look good together.
