A Victorian Breastplate

The etching quality is amazing , it does look a_lot like the high quality etching on some Toledo Daggers and swords of the 1850's period, these were mostly signed " Fabrica de Toledo" . The breastplate itself is almost identical in shape of those of the French cuirassier guard of the French Napoleon III also mid 19th century.
I agree with Yvian, in order the refine our knowledge we should also study 19th reproductions.
kind regards
