As described in the regulations of 1872:

“egg shaped of blue cloth, the patch is black with a brass crown“.

Here is the introductory order of 16/18 March 1903 introducing the new pattern Feldzeichen of white and green. It would seem that there was a period when both patterns would have been worn as the order states that this is applicable only for new acquisitions (Neubeschaffungen).

Wow, super cool James, congratulations! I love the markings inside of it! (y)

And that has to be one very rare feldzeichen to find with the Tschako. I've never seen one like this. (y)
 
In any case the new Feldzeichen of 1903 must have been very short-lived; the NCOs and soldiers of the Saxon Train battalions received the leather helmet also in 1903.

Was lucky enough to trade with a fellow forum member at SOS for this nice early Saxon train battalion shako well marked to the 19th T.B.

Felt on shell and interesting feldzeichen ( would love peoples thoughts on the Feldzeichen)?

Thanks Eric!

Well done James. Wonderful piece and well marked. I'm a bit envious....Congratulation.
 
i was just wondering after looking at the markings again, does anyone have an idea as to what the A and M stand for? Could the A stand for anno/year ?? Very cool shako James, it was great to examine it in hand at the show.
