- Description
- These are the pieces of metal that are believed to be the remnants of three different Belgique shakos. The photo shows two shako outlines and 9 of the pieces are adhered to the paper in their proper places. One piece is adhered above the two sketches as well. One shako has a crown with “100” inscribed below it. The other appears to be initials but are, unfortunately, difficult to decipher. These pieces are dated circa 1815.
