Carabinier helmet, officer, Empire period.

  3. From 950,00 €

    Order

Maybe the most beautiful helmet made under the Empire
It would have been a shame not to produce any copy of this very rare accessory, worn by an elite.
We improved N and crown on front.
Made in goldplated brass and silverplated steel.
Carabinier officers wore this helmet and a steel cuirass covered with a copper sheet.
Our helmet is made from an original model.
A genuine one would cost more than 30 000 €

Note the chinscales with their particularly nice scales, star bocettes on a radiant background.
Crest in horse hair.
Chinstraps were sometimes finished with silver pompons.
You can order this option.


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.
We did not want to make this helmet bigger, because proportions of this helmet had been too different of those of napoleonic period.
