DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Defence for the right foreleg of a horse, for heavy cavalry use, forming a pair or near pair to M.9-1945. Formed of twelve downward-overlapping lames curved to the front of the horse's upper foreleg and shoulder, and increasing in width to its upper end.  The upper edge of the top lame is slightly convex with gently rounded corners.  It has a file-roped inward turn accompanied by a recessed border containing nine holes for lining-rivets, all of which are now missing.  The lower edge of the bottom lame also has a file-roped inward turn.  The outer ends of the lame are each pierced with a rivet-hole that formerly served to secure a strap around the rear of the horse's leg.  The first to eleventh lames have bevelled lower edges.  The lames are connected to one another at their outer ends by modern, round-headed lining-rivets with internal washers that are variously square, pentagonal, hexagonal or circular.  The lames were further connected to one another by a pair of internal leathers located a short distance within the sliding-rivets.  The leathers were attached to each lame by single externally-flush rivets, all of which are now missing.
title:	leg-defence

NOTES
-----
type: history note
value: From the armoury of the Princes Radziwill, Castle of Niescwiez, Poland.  To save the armoury from the Bolshevist uprising, the Lithuanian family of Radziwill moved it to their town-house in Warsaw.  According to the London dealers Fenton and Furmage, the collection was acquired by the Austrian Dealers Pollak  and Windonitz just before the First World War.  Some pieces were sold in Germany, but most were offered for sale at Christie's, London, on 29 June 1926 and 14 June 1927 as the armoury of a `Russian Prince'.  The present piece was sold as lot 115 in the first sale where it was acquired by Fenton for £73 10s 0d.
