A suit of armor for enlisted men of the Prussian cuirassiers, late 19th/early 20th century Assembled from original parts. M 1867 helmet for enlisted men of the 7th Cuirassier Regiment, a chamber piece featuring a steel cup (darkened, grainy, with dents), a beaded front visor and a ridge at the back of the head, with brass inlays, rivets, and fittings. Line eagle screwed onto the front with a patriotic band (no double holes). Removable brass tip on a pointed-oval nickel silver base (both non-regulation, old additions; double holes). Arched, leather-backed scale chains attached to screwed-on geometric rosettes; provincial cockade made of lacquered sheet iron. Black leather lining on the flaps (worn, small tears). On the upper part of the rear visor rail is the regimental stamp “7. K 1890.” Also included is a cuirass breastplate (presumably Bavarian-made around 1842) with original linen lining, a deep proof mark next to the central ridge, a crown stamp on the left edge, and “AA 2252” stamped on the right. Back section (without lining, stamped “903” on the right) with leather-backed brass shoulder straps and original belly strap. Also included is a reservist portrait (without glass) of Private Schröder in Cuirassier Regiment No. 3, circa 1900 (frame dimensions 54 x 62.5 cm). Partially slightly damaged, with old repairs, signs of wear, and age-related wear. Condition: II
