Landsturmpflichtiger feldmutze

[timp_be]

Hello & happy new year!

I just received a feldmutze I buy recently, named to a "Landsturmpflichtiger" from the 32 Inf. Rgt.

Can somebody explain me what is exactly a Landsturmpflichtiger? Is it normal that the cap is wearing a prussian cockade without the Landstrum cross?

The leather sweatband is sewn up again on the rear side and lost on the front side... could it be possible it was a schirmmutze?

It's also wearing a chinstrap but I think this one is post WW1.








Thank you & best regards.

Leather sweat band, paper-cloth lining, I would say this is a Schirmmütze that is missing the visor.

"Landsturmpflichtiger" is a man serving his obligatory service to the Landsturm. It is the Landsturm version of a private.

I would have expected that should have a Landsturm Kokarde.
