Original era manufacture. Likely dating from the 1880's is this early pattern officers quality schirmmutze. It is of a color combination worn by officers of several Royal Saxon foot units, the 108th Infantry and the Saxon Jaeger Battalions. Dark green doeskin wool top with a black velvet band and red piping. Single kokarde at front which is correct for a pre 1897 hat. Soiled yellow silk lining with old costume house stampings and a small rectangulr tear in the fabric. Tall brown morroccan leather sweatband in good repair. No moth damage to speak of, just a little out of round from storage. A unique style hat of a pattern we seldom see offered.
