July Monarchy (1836-1837).
NOTE:
In 1835, the Minister of War asked infantry units for their opinions on the headgear to adopt. The regiments proposed in 1836 a series of different shako models. The 44th and 45th line infantry regiments received a leather helmet with a plate and crest. This headwear had a short-lived duration. The reports submitted by the two regiments were completely contradictory: the 44th regiment found the helmet heavy and cumbersome, while the 45th was in favor of its adoption. In its meeting on May 27, 1837, the Infantry and Cavalry Committee, relying on the contradictory conclusions, advised that the shako should continue to be the headgear for infantry troops.
