90mm Head with French Bell type shako

[Paul Casson]

Morning all,
I'm trying to convert the Andrea 90mm Hussar officer on foot to a Young Guard Chasseur. Does anybody know of any manufacturers who make either a head with this type of shako or the shako on its own.
Ta in advance.

Err, a picture might be good! ... What is a, 'French-Bell Shako'. ? .. This one is beyond me.

Regards,

Mark.

The typical shako shape as opposed to the cylindrical shako roleau. Can't seem to upload the image I'm after.

Here you go mate

Paul, it may be best to use or get hold of a Post Militaire Garde d'Honneur as it comes with all the requisite fittings.
I don't know of anyone who does any spares in this scale now.

Paul.

 

[Paul Casson]

Many thanks Paul.

May have to scratch it myself.

Cheers mate

Mmm no readon nit to but it might be worth a call to Bonspartes, or send Ratty a PM here.

Nothing to lose asking him, he may have a poste militaire kit broken up for spares already.

Might be worth it it.
