Hi Pat, I know I saw it earlier, but it is a wonderful group of items.
You are correct on his date of birth.
His rank was Musketier.
Cheers, Ade.

Just terrific. I would be proud to have this cap in my collection.....

I especially like the wooden Box that looks to be original to it! Very nice cap!

A pitty I cant read the old script in the little booklet.
Cheers, Pat
A very nice piece of history in great condition given it's age. The little extras like the cap box and the documents make it even more special. Congratulations Pat.

Its a keeper for sure, Along with my other cap, I just dont have the heart to even think of leaving them.
Thanks Steve...!
Thanks Tony, I think Adrian said that his reg (Nr. 72) was based in Torgau. So I guess he perhaps got his cap made there aswell.
Thanks Ade,
A question but was musketier the ones who would have been in the field? I guess by the name he could be. Also could he perhaps have been in the Franco Prussian war?
Thanks Alex
Thanks StoneMint
Thanks CMH, The cap is amazing on its own, the box and papers make it even better.
Hi Pat, he served too late to be in the Franco Prussian war which was 1870-1871.
He was a rifleman. Rank of private.
Cheers, Ade.
