Belgian M1859/1910 Kepi Lieutenant Grenadiers

Original Belgian pre-WWI M1859/1910 kepi for a Lieutenant or Sous-Lieutenant of a Grenadiers Regiment. Manufactured by Fonson & Cie, with a beautiful maker's marking on the inside of the liner. The kepi is complete and remains in good overall condition, considering its age and fragility. It shows some light wear and age-related damage, including a few minor moth holes, white staining on the top of the rim, the leather sweatband that has come loose at the front, some loose golden braid and oxidation on several metal parts.

Despite these imperfections, it remains a beautiful piece of headgear.
