Hi
It's a patriotic themed students cap by the look of things, and from the manufacturing style probably pre 1918 IMO.
Nice cap for those that collect but not one you can retire on..........hope that helps.
cheers

Hello,
Thank you both for your replies and info. Didn't realize that it might be of pre 1918 manufacture, thanks for that info. Regarding value, a ball park figure? 10 bucks, 50 bucks? As mentioned it's not something I collect so any info is appreciated.
thanks again,

Burschenschaft Allemannia Heidelberg
They are still active and are wearing the same kind of hats today.
This cap is from the 1920is. you have some rips in the hat, caused by "Vaterlandsstechen"
In the upper part of the picture 2 you can read the owners name and the sign of his fraternity.
In the middle there are the names possibly of his fraternal friends with the date and the place of this ceremony.: Heidelberg and Straßburg. With imagination you can read 22 for 1922.
There are collectors of fraternal equipment in Germany but I do not know if hats are also collected. Better to ask the fraternity itself.

Unimoc, thank you very much for that information. It is appreciated! I just might contact that fraternity and inquire about this cap.
thanks again
