Fritz Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Peaked cap for other ranks for walking out dress from Royal Saxon 5. Infanterie-Regiment No.104, 8th Company, based in Chemnitz i./Sa. Dark blue top, darker than in photo, red band and crown piping, small black lacquered leather peak, brown glazed calico lining and leather sweatband with silver embossed maker's mark Franz Ruttloff, Chemnitz, Lange Strasse 51. There is an issue stamp: 104.R., 8.C. and a large stamped E, meaning that the recruit has purchased the cap for his own property, E meaning "Eigenthum". The cap can be dated around 1897 to 1900 by its low shape, and the Reichskokarde was added after 22. March 1897. The regiment was formed in 1701 and belonged to the XIX. Army Corps. The state cockade is white with a green ring. A considerable quantity of Saxon items has emerged on the market since the re-unification in 1990, this item purchased then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
