Title Assortment of officer cap cockades (11)
Nationality German
Period c 1914
Sold

These were worn on the peaked service caps of the WW1 era, on the central band with the national cockade above. The following states are represented: Baden x 3 (one Landwehr); Anhalt; Reuss x 2 (one Landwehr); Prussia; Bavaria; Brunswick (Landwehr); Oldenburg; Hanseatic Towns.

I normally price officer cap cockades at ?25 each, so here is a chance for someone to make a bulk purchase, especially as there are some rarities, eg Anhalt, Reuss, Oldenburg and Brunswick.

The condition is fairly good overall, with typical wear to the highlights of most examples.

Prov: from the J.R. Gaunt & Son Ltd. Pattern Book Archive, sold at auction by order of the National Army Museum, London.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!

The pommel arrived safely today... It's a nice little object and really quite tactile... As usual, it was a pleasure to do business with you and I look forward to finding something else in your stock to tempt me.
