Belgian infantry cap

[Spiker]

This cap was in use the first year of the Great War, 1914.
If you think genuine German WWI stuff is getting scarce, try collecting stuff from
the great kingdom of Belgium

Thanks Larmo and Stuka
The squad of tin soldiers are standing in front of a replica of the hall tower of Thielt ,Belgium.(not a church)

The soldiers who came back from the front to rest in Thielt , preformed a daily march and use to gadder in front of the hall tower , in the picture the tower is not visible but they are right in front of it.

Very good-looking cap :thumb up:

I've a question in similar topic:

It is imaginable that this storm-beaten bearskin is Belgian?

No markings or any other sign...the grenade is 10 cm high.

I have one similar. Long time ago, I bought it on a boot-sale.

In the beginning I was thinking it is a Imperial German but after internet research I realised that it is a Belgium cap.
