Fantastic 17th C English Civil War Cuirassier Arm Armour Gauntlet Components Set
Fantastic 17th C English Civil War Cuirassier Arm Armour Gauntlet Components Set , A very interesting cuirass reportedly from a pub clearance & purportedly from Edge hill (not quantifiable) It is for certain a very interesting cuirass from the mid 17th century, potentially from a full cuirassier armour as there are holes at the bottom which suggest tassets would of been a part of it, the condition is bordering on relic, with pitting through out and holes in the back of the backplate as can be seen in the photos, the canvas straps are a much later addition, overall though this is a very fascinating and important armour that has been there and done it, more than likely of English manufacture, there is remnants of the "bullet proof" mark on the breastplate and tramlines, there is 19th century restoration to the bottom of the breastplate but as a result displays beautifully and looks fantastic! Perfect for english civil war enthusiasts, armour collectors, historians, the gentlemans study, museums, lectures, displays and much much more!
