Does this Cuirass Make Me Look Heavily Armed and Psychotic?
This is the most un-metal-detector-friendly outfit I've ever seen:
It really is a steel cuirass, mounted with 19 pistols, and weighing about 30 pounds. Worn in the picture [...] by collector Charles Noe Daly. Found in Bordeaux, 1917; sold at auction in Toronto in 1935. [...] In his right hand he holds a sword-revolver. In his left hand he holds a pair of pistol-stirrups. These have rear-facing barrels so you could shoot backwards with your feet while being pursued on horseback; I couldn't make this up.Click for larger pictures of this and stranger things.
Probably not a good man to cross.
