Austria-Hungary Austro-Hungarian Infantry Officer's Dress Shako

[15THPACAV]

Here is a KUK junior infantry officer's full dress shako. Apologies for my less than stellar photography.

I never tire of seeing these, 15thPACAV. For my money, they are the most elegant of the military headwear of their period (perhaps any period). Thanks for posting.

Thanks much. Mine has a few mothing areas, but I believe the shako still displays well. Yes, I also believe KUK headgear is quite elegant, as are their uniforms. Underappreciated , IMHO, especially versus their Prussian neighbors!

I would love to acquire dragoon, ulan, hussar, and artillery officer's dress headgear. One can hope!

This is fabulous, I have some babmeros but nothing like the beauty of this sapka . I wish I had one of these.. There is a lot to be said for the artistic style of militaria from those days when the style often exceeded the utilitarianism .
