NOTE:
The coat of arms on this helmet is that adopted in 1831 following the July Revolution of 1830 when the city abandoned the fleur-de-lis and replaced them with unmarked stars devoid of monarchic symbolism. From 1848 to the present day, the fleur-de-lis have once again appeared on the emblem, however, they are not used on this helmet.
