It's not that you are generalizing, there is a suit of armor commonly referred to as the Churburg armor, and, as Bill said, it's in Churburg castle. What he's saying is that CHERNburg does not exist; it's CHURburg. You have it spelled wrong. ;)
Most people would know what you mean by Churburg armor - the standards being brass trim, a segmented breastplate, 3/4 arms and legs, and if gauntlets, hourglass cuff style. GDFB does some generic churburg style armor; the gauntlets pictured in my avatar are the GDFB churburg ones, but the rest of my kit is custom made.

I did make a mistake in my century timing. Please excuse my mistake and be rest assured that when I create the Early 14th Century Kit via Anshelm Arms and Armor (with their Coat of Plates) and the Mid to Late 14th Century (same pieces only with Brass Trimming) with just a Globose Breastplate from Anshelm. (which I figured would be be the better choice than getting the same pieces again only from Merc Tailor's, but if the Anshlm Kit goes beyond my budget, then I will get the pieces from Merc Tailors)

Ah Darn It! Now I will have to slay anyone who dares misspell the sacred word of Churburg!
