SOLD
€0.00
Original Belgian M1850/1888 bonnet de police, better known as a "Shapski," used up until the early days of WWI. The front of the Shapski bears the number 3, indicating it belonged to the 3e Régiment Chasseurs à Pied, which was stationed in Tournai before the outbreak of the war. Aside from some minor mothholes and general wear, the exterior of the Shapski remains in good condition. Unfortunately, the liner is missing. A rare and unique piece of Belgian military headgear.
