Description
Indulge in the elegance of Prussian military history with this perfectly lovely Prussian Officer’s Tschako, designed for a Line-Jäger-Bataillon. This exceptional tschako would have been suitable for Jäger-Bataillon Nr’s 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, or 11, exemplifying the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The body of this tschako showcases pristine condition, devoid of any faults. Its gilt wappen adds an exquisite touch, while the matching chin scales command attention with their remarkable uniformity. The field badge further captivates with its silver embroidered center, complemented by contrasting trim. The single Reich’s kokarde is present in the highest quality and condition, a testament to the helmet’s exceptional care and preservation.
Upon examining the interior, one is greeted with a beautifully conditioned, lightly-used WHITE leather sweatband, bearing the name of the Berlin manufacturer—a subtle mark of quality and origin. The gently used WHITE silk liner exudes sophistication, an ode to the regality often associated with headdress interiors. While no individual markings are present, the absence only adds to the allure of this outstanding tschako.
