Yes, this would make cel7 assumption plausible; if it wasn't for the fact that the Kaiser with the uselless left arm was Wilhem the second (1859/1941), Emperor since 1888; a bit too late for the use of a cuirass, and as he isn't recorded to have engaged in combat episodes... i think. If he used one for parade events, i would realize that an Emperor's cerimony cuirass would have a rather more embellished aspect.
