Armour. Paudler for the left shoulder, for parade use, with 'puffed-and-slashed' decoration in imitation of civilian costume. Unknown production, South Germany. Formed of seven lames overlapping outwards from the third. The first and third lames are deeper than the rest. The spaudler has a convex upper edge involving the first three lames. Its upper and lower edges have boldly roped inward turns with pairs of incised lines separating the 'strands' of the roping. Each turn is paralleled by a raised rib decorated with matching roping. The intervening bands are each etched with scrolling foliage and flower heads on a stippled and blackened ground. The inner roped ribs are each bordered by an etched and blackened 'wolf's teeth' design. The internal edges of the lames are each decorated at their centres with filed ogees. The third lame is decorated with a series of seven slender, vertical, slightly recurved, recessed slashes, each etched with a pair of stylised leaf-fronds issuing upwards and downwards respectively, from its centre. The first to third lames are connected to one another at their outer ends by means of round-headed rivets with internal washers. The rivet connecting the second and third lames at the rear has a brass cap, and a circular internal washer. The corresponding modern rivet at the front lacks a brass cap and has a modern octagonal internal washer. The modern rivet connecting the first and second lames at the front also lacks a brass cap as well as its internal washer. The corresponding rivet at the rear is missing. The end of the first lame has broken away through the relevant rivet-hole. The third to seventh lames are connected to one another by sliding rivets at the rear, and internal leathers at the front and centre. The sliding rivets are round-headed with brass caps and circular internal washers. The modern leathers are retained by a pair of modern rivets on each lame except in the case of the seventh lame, where the inner rivet-hole for the f
