Mirliton or Flügelmütze or Flügelkappe was a tall hat worn by hussars, light cavalrymen and light infantrymen in the period 1750–1800, and remaining in increasingly rare usage through the German Wars of Unification. * The three Croatian light troops on the right wear the Flügelkappe. Uniforms are from circa 1750. * Two Prussian Hussars from 1792 wear the Flügelmütze, one with the death's head emblem. * The three French Chasseurs à Cheval in the center wear mirlitons. Their uniforms are from 1799. References
