used to be in the collection of M. Gayeski, in Mgowo, Poland, a collection dispersed some twenty-five years ago.
The suit made by Antonio da Missaglia and said to have been worn by Robert of San Severino of Naples in 1487, which is preserved in the Imperial Armoury, Vienna (see vol. i, Fig. 216), has associated with it a similar German make of salade headpiece, which has its surface painted with a chequered design. Two other salades of this kind may be mentioned, one in the Musée d'Artillerie (H 41, 1890 Catalogue), the other at Venice in the Museo Civico (Fig. 376).

German, Augsburg make, about 1490 Collection: Prince Ladislaus Odescalchi, Rome
An English variety of what we should imagine was an archer's salade is in the collection of Mr. Henry G. Keasby. This little head-piece, little better than a skullcap with a slight tail to it, is interesting as having been found in London on the site of the Fortune Theatre in Golden Lane. Although it is impossible to date it with any degree of precision, we should imagine it to belong to the closing years of the XVth century (Fig. 377).

When we come to deal with the heavy knightly salade of the "tailed" variety with the lifting visor, head-pieces hardly ever worn without the bevor, we are obliged to turn to the continent for complete examples, since there are no specimens of this type in English collections. The prolific Wallace Collection shows us no such salade, neither does the Tower, nor any private collection with which we are acquainted. The skull-piece of these heavy salades may be drawn out into the tail itself, as in the case of that very splendid
