SASHES, ARMBANDS
To make our sashes for generals and marshalls we had to use 3rd republic sashes, rare and expensive.
Copies were considered as "impossible". Now, with us, it is possible
Accessories used to recognize easily staff officers, generals and field marshals.
Sashes for light cavalry were used as a tradition coming from Hungarian hussars, who were soldiers of fortune, employed by French and all European armies as light cavalry.
Theses sashes were also protections for waist in fights and long cavalcades.
SOUS L'EMPIRE les officiers d'état major étaient dotés d'un brassard, de couleur bleue spécifique à l'état major pour les officiers sous les ordres d'un général de brigade, rouge pour ceux commandés par un général de division, blanc pour les généraux en chef et les maréchaux.
Habituellement les brassards étaient brodés, mais le musée de l'Empéri présente un intéressant modèle de brassard réalisé dans un tissu identique à celui utilisé pour réaliser les ceintures écharpes de commandement.
Les ceintures utilisées par la cavalerie légère, à titre de tradition héritée des cavaliers hongrois (qui furent les premiers hussards "mercenaires"), étaient aussi destinées à maintenir et protéger les reins pendant les longues chevauchées et les combats.
Les baudriers de commandement des maréchaux et généraux d'empire furent de différents modèles, un seul est présenté actuellement sur notre site, d'autres modèles plus suivront.
