WW1 German Trench Armour

Fabulous set of the WW1 German trench armour with a very good proportion of its original green paint remaining .
This is the first model design which was found to be uncomfortable & impractical for machine gunners due to the arm movement restricting cut of the breastplate . This was rectified on later models thus the early first model , as here , is difficult to find. All straps are original & the sought after 'RV' stamping can be clearly seen .
Coming from a well established & long standing collection the previous owner has reinforced the hangers with steel wire to preserve the existing straps & carry the weight of the plates when hanging from a bust or mannequin
