Hi, Marc. I believe the Guildhall Museum collection was incorporated
into that of the City Museum (Museum of London). If that is the case,
the leather jerkin that they currently have on display might be part of
the same finds or possibly incorporated from the pieces you show. I
would send a note to the Curator or Collections Manager (I can't
remember her name, but she is very helpful with such things) to find
out. Perhaps after they acquired a complete jerkin they took the pieces
off exhibit. Of course, the pics come from 1908, so they might have been
lost in the Blitz. I think the old Guildhall Museum was only a few
blocks from the river and the docks. Sorry I don't know more. Mike T.
. Has anyone ever published anything on these? I can't find anything
in the stuff I have available, but I don't have any indexes to most of
the costuming journals.
