Paul‘Tis said his form is tiny, yet
All human ills he can subdue,
Or with a bauble or medal
Can win mans heart for you;
And many a blessing know to stew
To make a megloamaniac bright;
Give honour to the dainty Corse,
The Pixie is a little shite. -

Always wondered where you might glean a full size repro French Heavy Cavalry helmet? The long toll of the brave
Is not lost in darkness
Over the fruitful earth
And athwart the seas
Hath passed the light of noble deeds
Unquenchable forever.Comment

high rank officers can use good Panther skin, low level officer frequently used small pieces of skin sewed togheter. The used normally the scrap parts of the skin.Originally posted by VieuxChat View PostOnly for the officers. Leopard were hard to find.
For the others this was made of Porbeagle' s skin or printed cow skin.

@ ivopreda:
I agree, definitely by Dragon de Ligne. But I saw at Musée de l'Armée two dragoon helmets with - what appeared to be leopard - at a closer look it was only painted like one. What about the Dragons de l'Impératrice?
@ Grand Maréchal:
Beautiful. Just…WOW. I like the uniforms of chevau-légers lanciers polonais de la Garde very, very much. Anyone else hearing playing Marsz trębaczy right now??

Yes, the same has been said of British saddle cloths (e.g. the Marquess of Anglesey). No one seemed to care much if they were real or fake.Originally posted by ChasseurMarion View Post@ ivopreda:

We will remember them.

the Empresse Dragoon were raised inside the guard and have a special attention from Napoleon, anything can be excluded but probably, at least at the beginning, they had low quality panther skinOriginally posted by ChasseurMarion View PostComment
