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_.
