There are also later added leather chin straps with 3 overlapping armored plates attached to a piece of leather that is then riveted through two original holes. Good as polished with scattered minor pitting, discoloration and two small break throughs on top of the comb. With a wrought iron stand having a carved wooden face. 2) Shield having a riveted plate with a repoussed rampant lion. There are brass washed rivets centered between the plate and the outside edge.
