DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: Breastplater, for use by an harquebusier. Formed in one-piece with a narrow flange at the waist.  It is medially-ridged and dips down to the centre of the waist.  Its arm-openings and its narrow, upward-flanged neck-opening have plain inward turns.  Riveted at each arm-opening is a mushroom-shaped stud to engage the shoulder-straps of a backplate.  Later, flat, downward-projecting belt-hooks are riveted at each side of the waist.  Each side of the neck-opening and each side of the waist-flange are pierced with modern wiring-holes.  The breastplate is struck to the left of its centre with the proof-mark of a bullet.
