Hallo All,
I have a heckuva time with certain cockades. Not everything matches the limited charts made 100+ years ago, and some modern interpretations may have colours off. What I am currently having issue with is this seemingly period light blue and white. The yellow-white colour is not quite the same browned white on the NCO cap cockades I have, but it is a glossy thicker paint applied after the matte light blue.
With so many sources being drawn or rendered from listed colours and not the actual cockades, I can't make an assessment. They do appear to be original with some age on them, but not what I would call "used." Both sides shown--I bought them figuring if he colours were fantasy, they appeared to be decent copies to repaint at a fair price. Now I think I have originals for a Beamter, police, or a dog catcher in some odd little duchy.
Schwarzburg/Rudolstadt has been identified by a couple of people, but my chart shows a much darker blue. One friend suggested possibly even Hanover, but I did not ask where that colour combo would apply to the state. These were sold as Bayern, but I know that is not correct for a military Pickelhaube Kokarde.
Appreciate the help! Would love to see any pictures people have showing actual cockades that are not the typical ones.
