A Harquebusier armor set for Pedro the 2nd, King of Portugal which is probably crafted by the London armorer Richard Holden. I was intrigued by the single gauntlet worn - my assumption is that armor and methods was shared between harquebusiers and cuirassiers so when looking into the single gauntlet worn it seems that the right handed one was discarded for interfering with loading fi****ms while the one that held the reins remained.
