1800s French military hat

Thank you, duggap. I would agree that it's a fleur de lis. Appreciate the thoughts!

I did hear back from the museum from the town near where this was found, and should be able to move my investigation forward soon! :-)

I was intrigued by the image. So did a little image manipulation to reverse the "negative" and then remove the scratches the best I could. This is what I got. She may have been quite a looker in her time.

Thank you, 60streeter! I'm looking forward to having more info on who owned it and who the woman was. Crossing my fingers!
