The shako is constructed of a dark pressed wool body with leather crown and visor. Beautiful crisp brass hardware, to include the brass ordnance “bursting bomb” plume socket with its red horsehair plume, as well as the die struck brass eagle front plate above crossed cannons. The shako carries the full red artillery cords with the waffle pattern paddle and both tassels being present and intact. The hand sewn shako is in overall excellent lightly used condition. The size is small. Looks too clean to be period ?
