The carabiniers were equipped with this helmet and a steel cuirass covered with a sheet of brass for the enlisted men or copper for the officers.

Our helmet is made of brass and steel, copied from a period model. Note the chin straps with their particularly finely crafted domed scales, and the bosses with a star on a radiating background.
Horsehair crest.
Some embellishments on the front plate identify this helmet as belonging to a non-commissioned officer or a junior officer.



Fits directly for size 58/59. But there is some fabrics between leather and metal inside helmet, only fixed by bocettes.
It means that you can easily take it off and win 1 to 2 sizes, up to 60/61.
If you add a second lay of fabrics you can go down to size 56/57, but if your head size is 55, it will be too big for you.
We did not want to make this helmet bigger, because proportions of this helmet had been too different of those of napoleonic period.
Eventually you can replace by yourself the thick inside with a thinner one, you can gain 2 sizes more


For collection, global shape and aspect are well respected.
