A pressed copper alloy shako plate that has a crown above the Imperial eagle. The eagle is clutching a bundle of rods with lightening bolts, surmounting a bordered 26. The 26 refers to the 26th Regiment d'Infanterie de Ligne (Infantry of the Line). These shako plates were in use from 1806 until 1812 when they changed to a lunular form.
