Well..I'll start this thread off with my Traffic visor
Nothing super special for me this year but both are quite nice for different reasons.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

This is my one and only TR era cap purchase for 2017, a Luftwaffe enlisted cap named to a FJ regiment,

Forgot that I could also include Imperial caps! An officer's visor, with the crimson piping & band for either of the two Bavarian lancer regiments, or chevaux leger regiments 1 or 2.

Hi,
Lovely caps, thanks for posting.
I had to wait till October for my first cap purchase............been a bit of a drought for me but then another came along just this week so that helped end the year on a positive.
Both Reichswehr caps.....first is an unissued 1919 pattern field cap, unit marked for Artillery regiment 7 (Bavarian)/ I battalion/ 2nd Battery with a nice "I" for accepted into stores ! M31 for Munich depot 1931 manufacture. Not on display as it is still folded as stored..........mint condition just missing the cockade. A real "flat cap" !
Yes, the cap may well be unworn. I know that FJ Regt.1 saw a tremendous amount of action; there is much info on the web, and in print.
I have quite a few books on the FJ.

Second cap is m1920 pattern service cap for the Truppenamt or General staff as was for the new army.
happy xmas to all on the forum.
cheers

Some great caps shown.
I picked up a few caps this year, but this one was my fave:
