WWI Imperial German visor cap or schirmmütze as issued to the Brunswick (Braunschweig ) 92nd Infantry Regiment . Hat made of deep blue wool with red cap band and piping , with the requisite national and state cockades.

The item has seen use and improper care; the fabric is worn on the rear of the crown, and has a hole on the left front edge, above the piping.
