Hi All,

Can anyone give me more information on the attached armour

Found in Estonia

Does not look to be a typical German armour with overlap on the chest

also the loop of the armour over the shoulder is more shallow as well as the crotch plate is a lot different

 

Found in Estonia/Latvia so this would suggest 

 

Polish, Russian  or German 

 

any ideas or pointers ?

 

Regards

Hi All

seemingly it is Russian WWII sappers armour

2 mm thick so only minimal protection against low velocity fragments and bayonet

Regards and sorry for being off topic
