zob123 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, Interesting Kepi - it looks like an Artillery piece that's obviously seen better days. Although, a bit of straightening out and a good brushing to tidy it up would probably breath a bit of new life in to it.. Date wise - difficult to say but sticking my neck out a bit here, I would say late 1920’s - 30’s or possibly a little earlier. Perhaps some of our French collectors maybe able to get a better fix on it. Many thanks for sharing it with us, as it is always nice to see such intriguing pieces.

army historian Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I agree. Also masking tape is great for removing all the loose lint, dirt, etc. Cheers Captain Albert Interesting Kepi - it looks like an Artillery piece that's obviously seen better days.
