Description
11/5/26 - This is a WWI-era Imperial German M1910 field gray visor cap (Schirmmütze). The field gray (feldgrau) uniform was introduced in 1910 to replace the traditional Prussian blue for service in the field, and this style of peaked cap was worn by officers and senior NCOs throughout the First World War. The cap has a field gray wool crown with red piping, a red wool band of the infantry and 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. The crown, band and piping are in very nice shape with a clean, even color and only light wear, and the visor is glossy with no cracking. Some of the stitches securing the visor are missing. Inside, the leather sweatband is in pretty good shape with just some minor damage from age, and the silk liner shows some minor staining.
