SCHIRMMUTZEN

Illustra e descrive con dovizia di particolari gli Schirmmützen indossati da tutte le branche della cavalleria imperiale tedesca fino a tutta la Grande Guerra. Foto a colori attuali e cartoline postali d’epoca in bianco e nero illustrano i vari modelli (quelli di prima della guerra e anche i modelli M-7 e M-15 in uso durante la guerra) mentre il testo fornisce utili consigli e dettagli per i collezionisti.

During the last decades of the 1800s and the first decade of the 1900s, some of the most elegant and colorful military service caps (schirmmützen) were worn by the Imperial German cavalry. The unique color combinations identified each regiment, and were the last stand for military fashion before and during World War I. This book is the first complete reference on schirmmützen, and shows and describes the headgear for all branches of the Imperial German cavalry. The pre-war models as well as the M-7 and M-15 war model caps are all illustrated in color photos and original period postcards. The book also provides German nomenclature for the caps and valuable tips on how to collect and identify the various regiments.
