while the Pembroke suit (Fig. 1116) is shown as white and gold in the drawing, the suit itself certainly presents a bluish tone, and in certain places an original brilliantly blued surface, so that the MS. is not always an accurate guide.
The armour of Sir James Scudamore, John Skidmur, or Scudamor. The drawing of this suit in the Jacobe MS. is entitled "M^r Skidmur" (Fig. 1150). This harness is now in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. It is a suit of white armour, decorated with narrow vertical bands etched and gilt.

Fig. 1150. "M^r Skidmur"
The Jacobe MS.
Only the breast- and backplate, the tace and tassets, the gorget, and part of the jambs and sollerets are in existence. Excellent reproductions of the missing parts, consisting of a close helmet, laminated cuisses, pauldrons, complete arms and gauntlets, have now been made by Monsieur Daniel Tachaux, the armourer of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, in order to complete the suit as shown (Fig. 1149).
Along with parts of the Lord Compton suit this Scudamore harness was acquired from the sale at Holme Lacy in the manner already described.
