Original French Napoleonic 1810 Pattern Cuirassier Breastplate with Maker’s Stamp German Militaria and rose to the rankOriginal Item. Only One Available. This is an outstanding French 1810 Pattern Cuirassiers breastplate used during the Napoleonic Wars, and is the correct pattern for those used at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The amor measures roughly 14 x 13 x 9 and retains much of the old silver paint. We are unsure if this is the original paint, but it is certainly very old. The front is adorned with 28 rivets with two additional protruded rivets in the middle
