OTOH, it shows an example of the rare leather armor / tunic used by Spanish warriors in Mexico. I belief Jim was rather interested in the subject.

I also have some french items obtained in Puebla, probably mementos of the French invasion in 1864.

BTW Eley, my apologies, I can't for the life of me remember discussing the cuphilts here before. Zorry!
