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.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
