Chapeau neuf expédition napoléonien français hussard officier Shako des troupes de lanceurs polonaises

New Napoleonic French Prussian HussarOfficers Shako of Polish Lancer Troops Hat - Light Cavalry -With Cord & Badge - Handmade/Handcrafted

This typical realization of hairstyles adopted by Polish regiments has been the subject of in-depth research and has led us to rediscover ancestral manufacturing techniques. The model presented is an officers model.

The lower circular part resembles the base of a shako, while the rest is more complicated; we had to arm the pavilion, which is square in the upper part, with carefully calibrated willow branches. The silver trim used at the junction of the two parts was recovered from a 19th-century mortuary sheet, manufactured in the old-fashioned way, therefore with a high metal content, which gives it incomparable longevity.

The chain is an antique chain that we have silvered, the inner lining was cut from an old mixed fabric and a sheepskin. The plaque is made in 3 parts, some of which are silvered separately. The cockade is copied from that of Major Jerzmanowskis confederatka, sold by the Osenat house on June 10, 2012.
