label: Notes
content: As noted on catalogue card (and above), in 1968 two sets of armor were found bearing catalogue number 277548. Staff were unable to determine which of the two was really E277548, and so they were both kept as that number and were labelled 277548A and 277548B. At that time, the accession record could not be located, however it was subsequently found. Unfortunately, the accession record does not describe the armor E277548 in any detail, so it is still not possible to determine whether 277548A or 277548B is the correct item. Speculatively, one of these 2 sets of armor may actually be number E274841?
