French Army Saint Cyr Officer Kepi
The French Army Saint Cyr Officer Kepi is an authentic military headpiece issued to officer cadets at the École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, France's most prestigious officer training academy. Founded by Napoleon Bonaparte, Saint-Cyr has commissioned generations of France's most distinguished military leaders, and its red-and-blue kepi remains one of the most recognizable symbols of French military tradition. The cap features a stiffened crown, gold bullion insignia, lacquered leather visor, and leather chin strap with gilt buttons. A rare find for collectors of French militaria, Napoleonic-era history, and authentic European officer headgear.
