OFFICER'S SHAKO PLATE OF THE 46TH LINE INFANTRY REGIMENT, model 1812 modified 1814 reused during the Battle of Waterloo, 1815. 28490

Stamped and gilded brass plate originally model 1812 but modified 1814 during the First Restoration by removing the imperial eagle. The plaque in its current state therefore consists of a shield-shaped base with a lion's head at both ends, lower part bordered by a striated molding and topped with an oak branch and a laurel branch . In the upper part, there are still the claws of the eagle holding Jupiter's spindle. In its center, the shield is smooth and cut with the number “46”. We can see five old rivets installed during the First Restoration to modify the regiment number and then removed during the Hundred Days period. H 7.5 cm, width 12 cm.
