France.
July Monarchy (1836-1837).
Very good condition, repainted cockade, front plate fixing screw replaced.
NOTE:
In 1835, the Minister of War asked infantry regiments for their opinion on the headgear to adopt. In 1836, the regiments proposed a series of different shako models. The 44th and 45th Line Infantry Regiments received a leather helmet with a plate and crest. This headgear had only a fleeting duration. The reports submitted by the two regiments were entirely contradictory: the 44th Regiment found the helmet heavy and cumbersome, whereas the 45th was in favor of its adoption. In its meeting on May 27, 1837, the Infantry and Cavalry Committee, relying on the conflicting conclusions, advised that the shako should continue to be the headgear for infantry troops.
