NOTE :
This box of cartridge cases is rare, it is not mentioned in the uniform regulations of the King's Bodyguards.
The 1814 model cartridge box is similar to this example, however the flap is covered with cloth in the company's color, and the flap framing strip is decorated with fleur-de-lys in the corners.
The model 1820 box is also in black patent leather, but the sides are in silver with rings on the sides to attach the hooks of the shoulder strap.
Our copy is therefore of the first model, it is a high quality production which must be attributed to an officer.
