ccj Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Officer field cap III. regiment Kaiserschuetzen Nice, something I've always hoped to find for my collection.
Markgraf Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Very nice! A good piece with the captured Italian collar star. In fact an army decree prohibited the wearing of the enemy's badges But it was a common practice among the Austro-Hungarian soldiers.

bcalkins Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Wonderful examples...everyone! I especially love Max's caps because that is what I collect. I will try to attach a few pics of some of my caps.
bcalkins Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Here is my latest find....1917 dated regulation feldkappe.
Kammi Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Hello there! I just want to pick up this wonderful thread to show you my new Model 1916 Fieldcap. The Soldier Josef Ryba served with K.u.K. Infantry Regiment 75 and later with Gebirgs-Schützen-Regiment Nr. 1.. The sheath to apply the Spielhahnstoß was sewed by the Soldier during the war after his transfer to the Mountaintroops. In my opinion a wonderful preserved cap. Are there more Fieldcap Collectors out there? I'm looking forward to see some more of your caps! Beste wishes! Andi
bcalkins Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Andi, That looks like a very nice cap. Congratulations on finding it. Here is a cap I got a couple years ago. It also has an added pocket. It is unusual for being a regulation model 1915 cap, but made of a felt fabric. Do you have other KuK caps? I have just finished an English language book on KuK cloth headgear that should be available by the end of October. Best regards, Brian
Kammi Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Hello Brian! Thanks for your compliments. Your book sounds verry intresting! Can you please inform me when it is out in the stores? Can you show some example pages? I have one more M1915 Cap. These are my first Caps. I am looking for more, but i don't need to explain to you that they are very rare to find and when you find one they are verry expensive. Those two caps i bought this year and my budget is empty now for this year. Your cap is also a verry beautiful piece. Congratulations! Best wishes Andi
Viribus Unitis Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Hello guys,what do you think of the Dorotheum auction held next week?https://www.dorotheum.com/auktionen/auktionstermine/aktuelle-auktionen/kataloge/list-lots/auktion/11321-historische-waffen-uniformen-militaria-sonderteil-die-kuk-armee-im-ersten-weltkrieg.htmlhttps://www.dorotheum.com/auktionen/auktionstermine/aktuelle-auktionen/kataloge/list-lots/auktion/11321-historische-waffen-uniformen-militaria-sonderteil-die-kuk-armee-im-ersten-weltkrieg.htmlhttp://www.flipmag.com/swf/syuKWNpLB9http://www.flipmag.com/swf/syuKWNpLB9lots of tasty stuff in my humble opinion cheers
bcalkins Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 It was a fantastic auction. I am told that there will be more in later auctions. I bid on two caps but came up way short. It was interesting to note that the tropical helmet was not even Austrian, but French. I pointed this out to Dorotheum, they agreed and posted a note on both the web and auction table. The helmet still wen for an outrageous price. 1600 euros if I remember correctly.
Chip Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Here are four caps from my collection. Three are Hechtgrau and one is feldgrau felt. The first three are still in the collection.The last one was traded away. Brian is well familiar with them, as I photographed them for both of his books.Chip

A. Gustaf Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Here is a uniform I saved from an attic cleaning in Upper Austria in 1972. It was worn by a man in the Kaisersschuten and the cap shown here was in the pocket of the tunic, although is is the later cap. The trousers and belt are not original to the grouping although the pouches and water bottle are. Here is a late war uniform, the back pack is post war Czech and has been removed since the photo was taken. 1
Gordon Craig Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 A. Gustaf, Very nice display. Congratulations on saving that interesting uniform. Regards, Gordon
