    Napoleonic First Empire Era Cuirassier Shotproof Brass Studded Armor

    000591
    A Fine And Rare Napoleonic First Empire Era Cuirassier Shotproof Brass Studded Iron Breastplate. Possibly even earlier than First Empire. This is real armor meant to protect an officer of cuirassier’s from musket fire. The shot from a heavy caliber musket left a serious dent just under the what would be the gorget but did not penetrate. Both breast and back are hand hammered with marks from the mallet from puddled iron and not later Second Empire Bessemer process steel. Both are extremely well forged and decorated with large domed brass rivets. The breastplate stamped internally “30” and the backplate “30 BB”. They are matching. Condition is smooth brown metal which could be polished bright. Several brass straps are included. This is a genuine late 18th century or sightly later armour in fine condition and not to be confused with the common 2nd Empire armours.
