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) piping, and a blue cap band. The front has a National cockade and a Prussian Landwehr cockade, indicating issue to the Reserve (Landwehr).The front of the cap bears the correct Tri-Color Reichskokarde, with the black and white Prussian state kokarde (cockade) below it with a Landwehr cross inside. The interior is lined with tan cotton that once had a maker's mark which is now extremely worn, with a faux leather sweatband that shows heavy cracking. The interior also has what may be a unit stamp,Eg. 3.C..Size is approximately a US 7 1/4 (58cm).The front visor is in outstanding condition and is still attached well. The interior lining is very nice, though the sweatband has lost some portions, and is now somewhat delicate, being over 100 years in age.Quite attractive and ready to display!Shipping RestrictionsThis product is available for international shipping.Payment OptionsEligible for all payments - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, Paypal & Sezzle
