Trying to identify named Imperial Schirmmutze

[coldstream]

I obtained this Imperial German cap recently and am having no luck identifying the unit this belongs to.

I have researched as much as I can using the information on 'The Kaisers Bunker' web site but am none the wiser.

The colours in the images are pretty close to the real thing and as can be seen the inside bears the name of the original owner.

I assume that another cockade would have been worn above the other and there is a very faint mark where this would have been.

This cap is in pretty good condition with a couple of small moth holes but otherwise in good order.

So, Ladies and Gentlemen any help as to identifying the unit (if indeed its military!) would be grestly appreciated.

Best regards Simon :cheers:

The inside.

The name.

[Naxos]

The name is: E. Pasemann

This is not Military but rather Railroad or some other uniformed civilian organisation.

It is definitely old, before 1900 for sure. :cheers:
