It's A Wrap! Costumes From the Movies

Here's the complete Flickr set!
"It's A Wrap" is a used clothing store whose inventory is from film and video productions. If you want a shirt from "Hanna Montana" for fairly cheap, this is your store. All items are tagged with a code that shows what it's from (and the key is on sheets posted around the stores).
They have two stores now: one at 3315 W. Magnolia in Burbank, CA; another store at 1164 S. Robertson Blvd. in Los Angeles (Beverly Hills adjacent), CA.
In September, they bring out their exotic and goofy stuff: Halloween material! This year the cool costumes were from, "The Scorpion King". They also had some stuff from Van Helsing on display. Check them out!

One of the great things for costumers is that you can see how professional costumers distressed the actual costumes up close (distressing=making the clothing look used or worn or even decrepit). This place is a fantastic opportunity!
I was curious if Iisaw could identify this armor: it's from the Scorpion King. The pieces of metal look like they were forged/pounded and that seems like more than most costuming departments would go through in outfitting a cast. Did they use some hardware that -looks- like armor or was this actual armor from something?
