it is a turkish chanfron, complete with side pieces. the sections of mail are from a turkish horse armour as well. it is very nice and, as you say, very rare.
the catalogues stopped being dated after 1908, but from the catalogue number, i would assume the date to be 1910.

You are indeed correct, I do have that page & its description. And speaking of owning swords from the catalogue, I would love to track down the one on that second page. Its unusual and looks lovely, I think. Its difficult to say what region/era it is from in Thailand.

Whoa! A Guan Gung statue (1st pic), keris panjang/penyalang (executioner) and a Tajong with a non-matching blade (last pic of first post) and a Java Demam on a Bugis blade (?) (3rd pic of 2nd post) plus some nice Borneon stuffs as well.
