I'm working my way through it, but the current thinking is that for a 1443 Zurich based Baker and Miller Guild. The appropriate attire is:
- Helmet (Sallet or kettle) - Breastplate (With or without a matching backplate) - Perhaps knee defences - Red item of clothing with a white cross (to indicate belonging to the Confederacy)
As yet I cannot find a device for the Bakers Guild, Quatrefoil will send me one from Basel when i email her... but I don't think they would be wearing it.
In the English: Pageant of the life etc... of the Earl of Warwick we have clear evidence of the tight jupon style tabard (sleeveless and worn perhaps over the breastlplate) with a simple badge on it. Like Corny's latest.
I like the idea of the jupon in red with a white cross over the heart or covering the chest (probably a range of them across the unit) the unit would be carrying the banner of Zurich, or in our case Stormhold as well as either the Lochac banner or the Abbotsford banner to indicate Canton as they don't appear to be carrying the Guild banners - it is in fact very regimented into one version of the Swiss Cross and then a range of the Canton banners.
I am fascinated by this project and will write it up properly later. Thanks for the encouragment!
