The Napoleonic Wars French Cuirass (1802-1815)

Having recently acquired a reproduction cuirass I figured to do an extra vid just in time for the 18th of June.
Initially tried to make it short, just ended at little less than 10 mins...

Just a note: there may be two models of cuirass rather than three but it's a bit unclear depending on sources.

better subtitles to follow*
