"French Officer Shabraque Colors" Topic

From what I can tell, French marshals and general de division shabraques are a dark red color edged in gold. Do the general de brigade's use the same shabraque or do they go with blue edged gold?

Would a cavalry division commander and brigade commander have red/gold shabraques as well?

The standard uniform shabraque for generals of all ranks and all arms was the red trimmed gold. It was seen as the mark of a general officer. Cavalry commanders sometimes rang the changes depending on their parent regiment. Variations such as tiger or leopard skins were popular but infantry commanders from marshal down to general de brigade tended to stick with the standard.

What would the colours be for shabraques of mounted French infantry regiment Colonels and Chef de battalion

Blue edged gold for Colonels and chef de bataillons

Edged silver for legere (light) infantry regiments.

Thanks for the quick response. I have a knotel print showing a Chef de Battalion with red edged gold but thought i had seen somewhat different elsewhere but could not find anything about this
