An interesting, remarkable survivor! The underside of the top fabric has ink stains & is in remarkable original condition. The badge appears French due to the Tricolour to the right hand side & the crossed cannons which are French artillery insignia. Yet the gold piping has an English feel as found on the Hussars uniforms of that period (France & England fought on the same side!).
Dimensions:
Wipe (Diameter): 11 cm
Badge (W & H): 2x3 cm\q
Ref: NW14
