Cent garde police cap. Covered in sky-blue cloth, scarlet flame. Decorated with aurora braid and soutache. Gold (oxidized) and scarlet trimmings. Basane lining, with buttons and ink stamped "466 1" label. A.B.E. (minor wear). Missing the crowned N motif, which is clearly visible. Second Empire period. Historical background: This service number corresponds to Marcellin TRIBAUDEAU from Strasbourg, who joined the corps in 1868 from the Carabiniers de la Garde. We would like to thank Mr. M. for his help in identifying this cap's serial number.
