This is a nice example of an Imperial German Prussian Officer’s Visor Cap (\u003cem\u003eSchirmmütze\u003c\/em\u003e), in the early 20th Century \u003cem\u003eDunkelblau\u003c\/em\u003e (Dark Blue) color. The later M1907\/1910 version would move to the\u003cem\u003e Feldgrau\u003c\/em\u003e (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 a fine cotton, and the stiffener of this example gives the cap a lovely pronounced peak at the front. This example also has a chinstrap, indicative of an officer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is good, but there is some heavy moth tracking on the exterior and crown. The sweatband is in fair shape with some tearing, and a very lovely period repair to the sweatband, with a piece from another cap stitched over a tear. Lovely!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady to display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45044003766341,"sku":"ONJR26MYAS008","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/64570AE1-54CB-49A0-B465-15F36DC47133.jpg?v=1780078957","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-imperial-german-wwi-prussian-dark-blue-infantry-officer-s-dunkelblau-schirmmutze-visor-cap-with-chinstrap-sweatband-repair-pronounced-peak","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
