-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice example of an Imperial German Prussian EM/NCO Visor Cap (Schirmmütze), in the early 20th Century Dunkelblau (Dark Blue) color. The later M1907/1910 version would move to the Feldgrau (Fieldgray) that was seen mostly during the war. The cap is constructed of dark blue wool, which was the standard color for all states except for Bavaria, which used their own blue color. It has Ponceaurot (poppy red) wool band and piping, which indicate that it was for an infantry soldier.
The front of the cap bears a Black, White and Red Reichskokarde (Imperial Cockade) on the front of the crown, with a Black and White Cockade on the cap band for the Kingdom of Prussia. The interior is lined with tan oil cloth, with a light brown oil cloth sweatband. The interior crown has a maker’s stamp reading:
C. Ahrend
Göttingen
A good research project. The size is approximately a US 7 (56cm).
Condition is overall excellent, but there is some minor moth tracking on the exterior and crown with some minor staining as well. This is definitely an example that saw moderate service.
