Brief History:- Â At the beginning of the napoleonic time, cuirassier still wear a tricorn hat. If Kellermann and Bourcier suggest in 1798 to provide them with a helmet, they will wait until 1801 to receive one. This helmet was never considered very practical. It was not very stable, gave not a good protection, for a saber hit could smash it, and a lot of troppers kept complaining about the horsehair mane, which made the armor rost. Its look his nevertheless typical, and remembers the greatest battles of the napoleonic time.
