dc.description.abstractBushrangers were outlaws: initially escaped convicts, but later, people at odds with the society of the day. Of these, the Kelly Gang, active in northern Victoria (Australia) in the 1880s, is probably the most notorious (http://www.nedkellysworld.com.au). In its final act of lawlessness, the Kelly gang took over the town of Glenrowan, holding more than 40 of the townspeople hostage in the pub (hotel). There four members of the gang (Kelly, Joe Byrne, and two others) wearing suits of armour which they had fabricated in the months prior to the gun-battle, were involved in a gun-battle with police. Over time stories have arisen about the fabrication of the armour. Amongst these were that the armour was made from ploughshares; by blacksmiths in a smithy, using the blacksmith's forge; that all the wearers of the armour were actively involved in the gunfight at Glenrowan. The armour we examined belonged to Joe Byrnes. Can some of the stories be validated by examination of his armour? © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.en_AU
