There's an armour set with similar wing elements in Elder Scrolls Online, too

Everyone knows armor that has wing means you go faster.

Just to say - the Polish nobleman had a duty to have equipment on their own. The Polish crown didn't pay anything for this nor for the service. If the crown require money on war, the parliament ( of nobleman) had to approve tax on themselves

Was it my comment on your last Post that made you post this?

No, but it was a good suggestion. I had a whole cache of photos to sort through, and just happened to get to the armor before I saw the comment.

Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

Those wings remind me of the eldar swooping hawks from 40k
