KDVR Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) visor cap no 2 colour of the cocade above: red / colour of the cocade underneath: black Edited September 24, 2009 by KDVR
Chip Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hello, First cap, M15 Bavarian infantry type. It has two Bavarian officer's style cockades. One should be a national cockade. Without a chinstrap, I would say it is actually an enlisted cap. Second cap, Prussian medical officer. Third cap, prewar infantry cap, of the 1890s-early 1900s style. Appears to have a Württemberg enlisted state cockade. Chip
KDVR Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Hello Chip Thank you very much for your great help! First cap: Is it correct, that the cockade on the top should be changed to a black white red national cockade? When I've checked the cockade underneath, it seems that there was never another cockade. Is the cockade underneath the correct one? The cap never had a chain strap. Third cap: The colour of the cockade is: black-red-black => Württemberg? Thank you KDVR Edited September 25, 2009 by KDVR
Chip Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 KDVR, The gray cap is actually an enlisted cap and needs both national (black/white/red) cockade and state cockade (white/blue) for Bavaria replaced. The cockades on it are for officers. Yes, the black/red/black cockade is for the state of Württemberg. Chip
