After all, this 15th Century European Cuirass certainly looks to be quite the effective armor, one that would afford a great deal of personal defense. This impressive cuirass is modeled after the typical foot soldiers armor of the late middle ages, which took full advantage of the protective power of steel plate.

Both the cuirass and the back plate measure approximately 24 inches across.
