French Shako large Eagle hat badge - What Era?

What is the time period for this Shako Eagle?

To me it look like a second empire infantry shako plate who has not being assign to any regiment. Normally you find a number in the circle at the bottom part to ID the unit. Your attachement system to the back is not original, but still a nice looking bird.
