Hello Glen,
If the insignia on that cap says "1786" then that is a postwar version.

I may be wrong,

Hey Patrick, i think you may be correct, mine is a pre-war one and is made by ges gesch. I brought mine as part of a grouping which included, a ww1 Hindenburg cross w/document, pass and the visor cap all belonging to a ww1 vet, here check the thread i made:

Hi Patrick, you got good advice in that thread and you are correct.

Hi Glen, your collection is coming on great. My advice is now to dump any repro items you have. They just detract from the nice original items you have.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Glen,

"Ges. Gesch." is just short for gesetzlich geschützt which means "legally protected" - a trademark basically. Not a maker.

Hey Kenneth, thats really useful thanks, its a bit like the equivalent to a copyright mark, in essence
Thanks, Glen.

Sorry about your cap,
Though if it was apart of that grouping its still an interesting piece.

I agree with ade, no point in keeping repros,

best regards,

Oh why are you sorry about my visor cap? You mean the condition?
Thanks, Glen.
