This rare catalog from the legendary Mène auction in 1913 has brief description of more 1343 lots, many of them not illustrated. However, several of the main armor and helmet lots have nice pictures (for 1913), and show the amazing quality of the collection. Even now, people are proud to have an ex-Mène piece in their collection.
