IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 18386 accession number: HEN.M.62-1933 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 6 September 2021 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Reinforcing bevor, for use in the tourney, with etched decoration. Formed of a single, medially-ridged, prow-shaped plate covering the front and sides of the face from the level of the eyes to the top of the neck, and strongly shaped to the chin. Its straight upper edge, forming the lower edge of a vision-slit, slopes upwards at its outer ends to strongly rounded corners. Its sides are nearly vertical. The right side has a large cut-out that may perhaps have been enlarged during the working life of the piece. Located at the right of the neck and at the lower edge of the cut-out are brass-capped, round-headed rivets. Similar rivets with circular, internal washers are located at the left of the neck and half way up the left side. The lower edge of the bevor is flanged outwards to receive gorget-plates. These would have been attached by internal leathers. The outer leathers were secured by pairs of externally-flush rivets, and the inner ones by single externally-flush rivets, all of which survive. The outer ends of the flange are cut off obliquely and slightly rounded. The edges of the bevor, except at the neck and the inner end of the cut-out, are etched with narrow bands of small concentric circles between pairs of pellets, all on a blackened ground. title: reinforcing bevor NOTES ----- type: history note value: From the armoury of the Princes Radziwill, Castle of Niescwiez, Poland. To save the armoury from the Bolshevist uprising, the Lithuanian family of Radziwill moved it to their town-house in Warsaw. According to the London dealers Fenton and Furmage, the collection was acquired by the Austrian Dealers Pollak and Windonitz just before the First World War. Some pieces were sold in Germany, but most were offered for sale at Christie's, London, on 29 June 1926 and 14 June 1927 as the armoury of a 'Russian Prince'.
