~ Early 20th Century French M1872 Military Shako #2 ~
A great example with black felt, black leather frame and lining, tin cockade and gilt brass badge of crossed rifles. There are twin strands of gold braid under the regimental number 1.
~ Dimensions ~
The cap measures 26 cm (10 inches) fore to aft and is 11cm (4.5 inches) tall and 17cm (7 inches) wide.
~ Condition ~
The crown of the helmet is mostly unstitched but still sits snuggly. Otherwise in good order with the expected wear.
