Dear collectors,
AT updated a side cap for 2. Zug Leib-Gendarmerie in their new auction. This kind of cap was specially made for soldiers of the Leib-Gendarmerie during Kaiser's visit to the Levant in 1898. However, I have not seen other surviving pieces except this one. So what do you think of its authenticity? Original or a well-made fake? Or possibly something made postwar? At the moment it looks ok to me. Your opinions are appreciated thank you!
Below are the pictures provided by the auction house.
Kind regards,
Jvpi
