Dragons de l'Impératrice, helmet for trooper.

Rare copy of an helmet of this prestigious unit: "Dragons de l'Impératrice".
Horsehair, fur, plume. For size 59 as it is, but adjustable till 63 if you take off stripe in cloth put under border of inside in leather
A buckle and a strap allow to reduce slightly size.
Delivered with its redplume

The impress was the godmother of the unit. This is the reason why uniform and accessories were so gorgeous.
Fits directly for size 58/59. But there is some fabrics between leather and metal inside helmet, only fixed by bocettes.
It means that you can easily take it off and win 1 to 2 sizes, up to 60/61.
If you add a second lay of fabrics you can go down to size 56/57.
We did not want to make this helmet bigger, because proportions of this helmet had been too different of those of napoleonic period.
