  • Stirrups for light cavalry general officers.

    Very nice copy of an original pair kept in Invalides museum.
    Caution, size and width of feet were quite more narrow than now.
    As these stirrups have size of an original pair, width is only 8 cm as max diametre of inner circle.
    It can be too narrow for a use in re eanactment, nad proportion of cupper gives to metal a slightly pink nuance (not visible on pictures) that indicates a high proportion of copper.
    So if you are heavy and appreciate to stnd up on your stirrups, forget this pair;.
    For collection or decoration, there are nice pieces
