Helmets and breastplates from 1st and 2nd Empire

Copies in limited production, and sometimes antics.
Helmets have been developped with one supplier who woks only with us.
We find pictures of these helmets on other websites, they will never received them!

We propose only helmets that existed!
You will find no helmets made with parts of different helmets, assembled to create something looking partly like rare helmets.
When we make copies, we make them well, so that you will not be ridiculous if you show these helmets to specialists.


  • Carabinier helmet, officer, Empire period.

    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.
