WW2 French Tirailleur Officers Kepi

A very good French kepi for a Lieutenant of the Tirailleurs , the light infantry mostly made up of natives from the North African Colonies of France. This is a 1930s pattern kepi with sky blue cap band & scarlet top. The two gold braids denote the rank & hungarian knot is in the style of this period. Gold chinstrap has two gold buttons to sides . The interior is constructed of a quality red silk with leather sweatband & tightening ribbon to rear. The Saumur based maker of ' Mme Barbier Merigard ' is embossed to one side the officer most likely being a Frenchman from metropolitan France. Overall in very nice condition with no moth & some service wear .
