Restoration period.
Good state of conservation, the sewing of the strap has been repaired, back leather strap replaced subsequently with black varnished leather matching the model.
NOTE: This giberne box is rare, it is not mentioned in the regulations of the King's Bodyguard uniforms.
The giberne box model 1814 is similar to this specimen, however, the strap is covered with cloth in the color of the company, and the frame rod of the strap is decorated with fleur-de-lis in the corners.
The 1820 model giberne box is also in black varnished leather, but the sides are silver with rings on the sides to attach the shoulder straps.
Therefore, our specimen is of the first model, it is a high-quality manufacture that must be attributed to an officer.
