Sir Fredrich Karl Kyburg of Trimaris lost at Gulf War XIII
Stainless bascinet with an over the shoulder riveted mail aventail 
Pair of stainless and leather arms 
Aluminum left demi-gauntlet back of hand only 
Sword with basket hilt.
1. The major features are described below.
The bar grill is a separate piece mounted with nuts and bolts.  As far as I 
know no other helmet has this arrangement. 
Aventail is mounted to helmet even with the top of the bar grill by leather, 
pins and wire.  Most I have seen are mounted at the bottom of the helmet. 
Aventail is mounted to the bottom of the bar grill by leather and rawhide 
cord. 
Padding is a red sparring head gear with duct tape on the edges to hide the 
color when worn. 
Chin strap is a black string which ties under the aventail in back.
2. The attached file is the best photograph of the arms I could get my hands 
on.
Stainless elbow cop with lames 
Leather is covered with 3/4 inch wide stainless strips riveted every inch 
Strips are spaced 3/4 inch apart 
Rivets are spaced every inch in between the stainless strips. 
Straps are not attached to arms but are fed through slots.  I believe this is 
a unique arrangement.
3. Aluminum left demi-gauntlet.  No unique features.
 
4. Sword with basket hilt.  No unique features.
 
They have never been out on their own and will need your help finding their 
way back.
