Need Help Pillbox Cap military or ?
Hi All,

It is the cap from a fraternity in a university. I do not know which one.
Mützen - Otto Wesely OHG - Studentenartikel
According to a list at Wikipedia the emblem could be from the 'Burschenschaft Normannia zu Leipzig' or its sibling organisation 'Burschenschaft Normannia-Leipzig zu Marburg'. Both were founded in 1868 and they are still existing.
With best wishes

In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
What Heinrich Mann and the DEFA had to say about such headwear.

Where I studied, all though briefly, and without such headwear.
I think it was given as a Christmas gift from one member of the fraternity to another in 1932, but I am not really positive on that one.
".....Mit der Seidenfutterstickerei gibt es keine Verwechslungen mehr. Couleurname, Rezeptionsdatum, Burschungsdatum und andere Informationen als Stickerei im "Deckel" sind nun einmal haltbarer als Kugelschreiber...."
I collect this kind of cap from 1932 or so.
