The Prussian Reserve Pionier Regiments were an integral part of the Prussian Army during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These regiments were responsible for constructing and maintaining fortifications, bridges, and roads to aid military movements during times of war.
One such rare piece of history from the Prussian Reserve Pionier-Regiment is the schirmütze for a reserve officer, now available for collectors at a price of $595.00. The cap's all-blue design with red trim bands and correct kokarden showcases the elegance and precision of Prussian military attire.
The interior of the cap includes a brown leather sweatband and a silk liner with the maker/seller's information. Despite evidence of moth nips and tracking on the top of the schirmütze, the cap's sides show no signs of mothing.
Overall, the Prussian Reserve Pionier Regiments were an essential part of the Prussian Army's history, and this rare schirmütze is a must-have for collectors who appreciate the rich military history of Prussia.
