Lot 51:
Rare 17th – 18th C. Imperial Russian Breast Plate Cuirass Armor. A very heavy battle breast plate of a Russian Imperial cuirassier or carabinier, definitely a battled with example having a strong bullet impact dent to the chest cavity. Retaining original leather covers to the rim all around. Struck with an early Imperial two-headed eagle to the lower front. Back with traces of original lining. Probably an 18th C. example, but very well may have been used through the Napoleonic wars era.
