Shoulder from a munion 1600
Formed of 5 plates with holes for attachment with leathers at the back, center and front. Currently secured with modern leathers at the front and center and solid rivets in the back. The top plate relatively narrow and the bottom one with an inward-turned roll at the bottom. The second plate is slightly more dished than the rest forming a primitive cop over the point of the shoulder. Each of the plates forms a slight arc and is wider at the back than the front. This munion is comparatively simply formed.
Measurements: app. measurements of the hights of the plates - top 1 1/2, 2nd 3, 3rd 2 3/4, 4th 2 3/4, final 2 3/4. Top plate app. 8 1/2 in. long.
