Salut, mes Cosyns,

Yep.  ABS plastic plates.  I've not only seen the suit, I have it on video;
Sir  Gaston wore it for the ESPN segment on Estrella War a few years back.

For anyone still having trouble reaching diGrassi's _True Arte of Defense_
via the long URL I posted, try going through the SCA page at
http://www.sca.org and selecting the Combat Arts link.  Then select the
_Primary Resources for the study of Duelling and Fencing_ link.  One of the
first links listed on the resulting page is _diGrassi_.

lo vostre por vos servir
