Information

Stato Pontificio
length 65 cm.
Red, blue and yellow uniform (the traditional colours of the Corps), edged and trimmed with the stripes of Leo XIII 's heraldic arms (1878-1903). Marked with date '1892' and number '48' inside. Slightly damaged by moths outside, signs of use and time inside especially in the lower part. The central part was probably restored at the time of Leo XIII, the uniform itself seems older and was "converted" by the halberdier with the arms of the new Pope Leo XIII.
