Identifying BREASTPLATE

[A Senefelder]

Allan, before any reasoning, let me tell you that i got the opportunity to hang off the breastlate to give it a thin bathing of olive oil, something i have been doing once or twice to all my pieces, to both preserve them and grow some patina.

Nando, that explains it perfectly. Based on that, and again this is only working from pictures, I would say that your's like Jeans, seems to be of late laminated construction, probably to thicken it to make it shot proof.
