    What is this Italian shako all about? Any ideas of branch/etc? Appears to be circa 1900 by make.

    This is what comes from buying a carload of militaria.  Mysteries are fun but I have been stumped on this piece.  Definitely around 1900 or so, nicely made, Italian by the cockade...but what is it for?  Thank you in advance for filling in one of my many mental blanks!

    I'm wondering if it might be South American or Mexican.  Their military fashions often followed European lines.

    I agree. I had Argentinian General  shoulder boards that were French style
