Hi Jean-Luc,

thanks for sharing the additional pages and the link.
The cut in the sentence was a bit unlucky

It just says that it is unlikely that the armour mentioned in the early 19th century is the same as the present one. But the author doesn't know why the present one as well as "the older one" was attributed to Saint Hilaire.

I will translate the whole footnote once I am back home in the evening.

Beste regards
Andreas
