A 19th-century breastplate from France. - Military equipment

Authentic military cuirass:

This is an original cuirass plate from the 19th century from France.
Model 1855.

The plates are edged along the rims with copper/brass rivets.
On the right side is the distinctive gold-colored brass-fitted closure with slots that hinge over a metal knob on the chest.
On the inside the name "Elisa Cotrelli" is written and there is a paper label bearing the same name affixed, which points to a registration in a theater, opera, or film collection where this historical piece was later reused.

This is NOT a replica...
