Model 1910 field-gray visor cap of the Kgl. Sächs. (Royal Saxon) 2. Husaren-Regt. Nr.19

A very rare Model 1910 field-gray visor cap of the Kgl. Sächs. (Royal Saxon) 2. Husaren-Regt. Nr.19 (Grimma) XIX Armee Korps. I have not seen another like it, either for sale or on display. The upper body of this impressive visor cap is fashioned of the highest quality grey melton wool, being constructed before the outbreak of WWI. The cap has the desirable saddle form seen on the later Nazi officer peaked caps. The upper body is piped in white, as is the lower portion of the cornflower blue cap band. Unique to visor caps of the Husaren is the central piping in both red and white. No other units sport this detail of double-piping used only on the Husaren field-grey caps. The exterior has only the slightest evidence of mothing and for a cap over 100 years old, the condition is excellent plus. The interior has no markings, and the lining shows much use. The underside of the visor is white, a characteristic of high-grade caps of this period.
