This is what cavalry in the mid 17th century seemed to be wearing, from England to the Habsburg realms.
The steel cuirass, left gauntlet and the Pappenheim helmet.
Don't know why this fell out of use. It was more practical than the silly helmets with feathered crests
that cavalry was using in the early 19th century.

At the Battle of Montlhéry he wore a sallet with bevor.

We know this since the bevor fell off and he received a nasty cut to his throat. The scar of which helped them identify his lifeless body after the battle of Nancy.

nvm found it, though the answer is disappointing.

Two pieces of iron armor -- reportedly first found in the desert of West Texas about 150 years ago -- have recently been analyzed by scientists in Nebraska, where the artifacts have been sitting for decades in museum storage.

Archaeologists have been able to determine that some of the armor's components are at least 200 years old, but details about who made it, who wore it, and where exactly it came from remain a total mystery.

"I don't know where this thing came from," said Dr. Peter Bleed, a University of Nebraska archaeologist who led the study.

"I hope researchers will look for more evidence about this."

Bleed supervised two anthropology students at the University of Nebraska -- Lindsay Long and Jessica Long, who are now graduate students at other institutions -- in their investigation of the armor as a research project.

The Nebraska History Museum acquired the armor in 1990, consisting of a black helmet and a neck covering called a gorget, made of a cotton twill backing covered with small iron scales.

But despite its storied past, the artifact -- and the lore that came with it -- had never been thoroughly studied.

"I thought the armor itself deserved to be documented, in part because it had been in a private collection since the 1890s," Bleed said.

The few records of the armor that exist came from U.S. cavalry officer and anthropologist Capt. John Gregory Bourke, who was given the gorget, helmet, and a breast- and backplate in 1870, from an army doctor who claimed to have found them "enclosing the bones of a man in the arid country between the waters of the Rio Grande and the Pecos."

Beakies are pretty cool, but they are rarely ornant, so they don't compete in that category.
