This armor predates and certainly must have served in the English Civil Wars. It comprises six pieces, including its original gorget. It dates to the period of transition from lighter armor to shot proof. The breast-plate is provided with lugs for the attachment of a reinforcing plate allowing flexibility to adapt from guard to combat mode. See item #698, following for a related reinforcing breast-plate. It is mounted on an armor stand with a original antique coat of a Yeoman of the Guard, the kings or queens personal bodyguard. Backplate with makers marks RR with canted serifs, probably Richard Rathbone who worked in London 1617-36.
