Description
11/4/26 - This is a WWI-era Imperial German infantry officer's visor cap (Schirmmütze). The cap features the classic infantry pattern of a dark blue wool crown with red piping and a red wool band, along with a black patent leather visor. It retains both of its cockades: the upper black-white-red Imperial (Reich) cockade, which was introduced in 1897, and the lower state cockade on the band. Inside, the black lining is embroidered with a gothic "H" monogram beneath a noble coronet, indicating the cap likely belonged to an officer from a titled family. The cap shows honest wear consistent with its age, including scattered small moth holes in the crown, a few larger holes along the rear of the crown near the piping, and fraying and loss along the lower edge of the band at the rear. The cockades, visor and red piping remain in nice shape. A nice WWI Imperial German officer's visor cap with good cockades and piping.
