Belgian Shapska

[Guy]

I'd like to propose a shapska for a Belgian Senior officer (Major or Lieutenant Colonel) of the 3rd Lancers Regiment.

This headgear were worn between the period 1863 and 1915.

Enjoy it because we see them very little.

That is lovely indeed!  Drooling on my keyboard, and I don't even collect those.

Be careful with your keyboard.

I appreciate very much your appreciation 

Thanks Peter.
