Breastplate 19th c.
This appears to be a breastplate for the Household Cavalry. The lining is 2 layers of canvas stitched to a fabric lining band that is riveted to the breastplate. The lining appears to be marked with B 222, Lance Corporal Robinson, A6 and a date Jan 20th 1855 (the date is unclear - 18x5 seems clear and I think I'm right on the rest of the date.
