1) c. 1648-1655 harqubuesier two-piece "lobster tail" pot helm with low turned comb, pivoted and pointed fall with a turned edge and three piece bar guard joined at the bottom forming a blunted point, neck guard of three simulated lames with turned edge and domed rivets, and absent ear pieces. The fall is maker's marked "RB" on the top right for Rafe Boulter of the Kingham, Oxfordshire area, whose mark was approved 30 October 1648. "19 appears to be marked inside the rear edge of the pot. 2) c. 1650-1660 harquebusier cuirass with breastplate struck with St. George cross inspection mark near the neck, medial ridge and short flange at the base, and a turned neck, arms, and waist of the backplate. The backplate appears to be struck with two indecipherable proofs or maker's marks near the neck. The leather straps are later replacements.

Both are good or better, showing mostly a grey patina over extensive mild to moderate pitting and oxidation scattered throughout, some minor dings and dents, and a few scattered absent rivets. A fantastic set of English Civil War armour, perfect for display!
