Original French WWI Private Purchase Infantry Officer Captain’s Kepi

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a nice World War One era French Infantry Officer kepi in excellent condition. This is the lower height style kepi they first started using after phasing out the floppy or "bummer" type kepis. This style was only worn for a short time during WWI into the early 1920's. From the construction of this example, it appears earlier and certainly WWI period.

This example is a high quality kepi, most likely private purchase. It was issued to an officer with bullion cross design to the crown and bullion embroidered flaming bomb to front. The interior has a leather sweatband with no maker marking, which is heavily worn and has lost some stitching. Size is approximately 6 3/4 (54cm). Overall condition is very good, with typical signs of wear and age.
