A visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in NYC​

While I did visit many other parts of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on this day in May 2025 I pretty much only took pictures of items in the Arms and Armor section.
Adam Savage (Of MythBusters fame) has a fantastic series of behind the scenes videos of various items in this section, see: Adam Savage’s Tested

Items shown below are ordered roughly in historical age.

The Saratoga Battle Monument is in the tiny village of Victory NY, and overlooks the site of the Battles of Saratoga on September 19 and October 7, 1777 which are generally considered the turning point of the American Revolutionary War. It's about 100 miles south from our house in Vermont.
