VERY RARE FRENCH 1st EMPIRE NAPOLEONIC SAPEUR CUIRASS: 

In impressive, very good and completely untouched condition. Model 1804, constructed of very thick metal (bullet proof at the time). Complete with front and back plate. Very good metal bearing a nice and even age patina throughout. Very good and original leather straps and belt. No markings. Identical to the one displayed in the “Musee de l’Armee” in Paris. An exceptional 1st Empire armor piece with a very low survival rate! 

(Ref.: “Collections Historiques du Musee de L’Armee” by Paul Willing Vol. 7. Page 41).
