My Uncle said he has the armour chest plate for this as well.He said he thought it may be Greek?Possibly french. Not too old. Maybe 19th century.Maybe I remember wrong.I have more pics, I just have to look in my files.

I like the looks of this one. My guess is WWI French Artillery,
due to the flaming bomb, but 'Stuka' (Kris) will know.........!

French cuirassier mod 1874.
Difficult to tell if enlisted or officers helmet, need to see details of the chin strap for that!
cheers

That's it, I've seen enough your Uncle should officially open a museum, seriously he has so many fantastic items!

I know! For helping him sell off some stuff, he is giving me a ww2 battle flag for a ship! It's about 15x10 ft. I believe ..judging by what he said.He also owns some rare vehicles.A 'Tatra' car..looks like an over sized Porsche with a V8 in back!He has a SchwimmWagen I posted about a year ago.
