Schirmmütze for a Pionier Officer - Authentic?

[DerFunker]

Good day, folks! I've got a Pioneer officer visor I'd like to present for assessment, if I could please trouble you to have a look. The sweatshield reads:

Spezialhaus für Militäreffekten
Max Linder
München
Augustenstraße 7

I think this is a "doeskin wool" example? The sweatband is stamped Stirndruckfrei Deutsches Reichspatent, and I've snapped a pic of the front of the visor under the sweatband. Size 55 stamped under the rear of the sweatband. There are a few tiny mothnips, but otherwise it's in quite nice shape.

So what do you think, gents? An good example?


Thanks much for your help!

IMHO a nice original Peküro cap distributed by Lindner/Munich.

Thanks for having a look at another one of my caps - I appreciate the opinion! I was pretty confident that this was a good example, but I always trust the more experienced members of this forum rather than myself. Thanks again.

Very cool, thanks for that! I have folders on my desktop for each individual item I collect. I put bits of information and pictures related to each piece of militaria into these folders, simply because I enjoy researching every little detail about these things that I can. This will go nicely into the folder for this cap. Thanks again!

Thanks, Bill! I've got a Pioneer Lieutenants blouse and officer trousers that I'll throw on a mannequin soon. It'll look great topped with this cap!
