Original German Pre-WWI Bavarian Infantry Officer’s Visor Cap by Hans Föllsch

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an Imperial German, Great War, Bavarian Officer’s Visor Cap (schirmmütze), It is constructed of dark blue wool with red wood band and red piping along with metal cockades and interior lining and leather sweatband.

There is a faint maker’s marking on the interior lining, for Hans Föllsch, great opportunity for research. It is also marked with a size, 4⅛, very small. 

The cap is in phenomenal shape for its age and bears the state cockade for Bavaria and the national German cockade above that. The dark blue cap with red band and piping indicates infantry. The sweatband is cracking a bit but is still intact, only separating from its stitching in a few places. Overall a great cap. This is a phenomenally preserved piece of Dunkelblau headgear, ready for further research and display.
