WW1 GERMAN PORK PIE HAT (KRATZCHEN) DATED 1916
This Ww1 German soldiers pork pie hat is in exceptionally good condition with no visible signs of mothing. I have done some research into the unit colour coding of the piping and headband and this hat could have come from any of the following units:
- Magdeburgisches Dragoner-Regt. Nr.6 (Mainz) XVII Armee Korps
- Kurmärkisches Dragoner-Regt. Nr.14 (Kolmar i.E.) XV Armee Korps
- 2. Großherzoglich Mecklenburgisches Dragoner-Regt. Nr.18 (Parchim) VIII Armee Korps
- Oldenburgisches Dragoner-Regt. Nr.19 (Oldenburg) X Armee Korps
The interior of the hat has clear date stampings for 1916 and is a size 57 (large).
A good, clean honest hat.
