Original Imperial German WWI Prussian Dark Blue Infantry EM/NCO Visor Cap
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a 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 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 top of the cap has an Imperial Eagle in a shield, but no maker marking. Size is approximately a US 7 (56cm).
Condition is good, but there is some heavy moth tracking on the exterior and crown. This is definitely an example that saw heavy service. Some of the cork on the interior is also coming out.
