Imperial German,WW 1,Minty Prussian Jaeger Reserve Officer’s Feldgrau Visor Cap

Description

Imperial German, Great War, Minty, Jaeger Reserve Officer’s Feldgrau Visor Cap. Jaegers were the elite among Imperial German Infantry Regiments. In Napoleonic times, German Jaegers and their equivalents in the British Rifle Regiments were the army’s marksmen. They were the best shots, equipped with the most advanced weapons. These weapons enabled them to hit selected targets at a greater distance, with a higher degree of accuracy. They served a skirmishes at their army’s heads and were trained to disrupt their enemies command and control by targeting officers. The Cap is made of Feldgrau Wool, with a bright green band that measures 1.75” in width. One very thin bright green piping band encircles the top, while another tops its central band. The correct Prussian Reserve Officer’s and Reich Kokarden decorate the Caps front center. The Caps Original Chin Strap is still connected making this Cap Extra Special. The Caps interior is very near mint. The only flaws are a couple of moth nips ( pictured ). This Cap has been in my personal collection for years. Imperial Germany was a federation of twenty-seven kingdoms, duchies, principalities and "free and imperial cities". By far the largest of these components was Prussia, whose King also bore the title of German emperor.
Most Uniform Items from this period have some degree of moth tracks. This cap does have a couple detectable moth tracks.
