Vintage French Foreign Legion Kepi
Vintage French Foreign Legion Kepi
Here is a fun treasure to hang on your wall or set on a bookshelf.
This vintage French Foreign Legion hat is an interesting find to be sure! Made by Desfosses in Paris.
From Wikipedia: The kepi (English: /ˈkɛpiː/ or /ˈkeɪpiː/) is a cap with a flat circular top and a peak, or visor. In English, the term is a loanword of French: képi, itself a re-spelled version of the Alemannic German: Käppi, a diminutive form of Kappe, meaning "cap". In Europe, this headgear is most commonly associated with French military and police uniforms, though versions of it were widely worn by other armies during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1] In North America, it is usually associated with the American Civil War, as it was worn by soldiers on both sides of the conflict.
This item is in excellent condition but is being sold "as is" because it is vintage. Please note the slight misshaping of the top of the hat due to an apparent bend in the paper underneath. The fabric and interior are in excellent condition.
All sales are final. A final photo has been added for pricing reference on this vintage item. UPS GROUND is included.
