This is the predecessor to the WW2 German Bergmutze cap!
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy, was a constitutional monarchy and great power in Central Europe between 1867 and 1918. It was formed with the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, and was dissolved following its defeat in the First World War. The k.u.k. stands for kaiserlich und königlich (imperial and royal) and was used in the Austro-Hungarian empire to refer to empire-wide state institutions.
The Austro-Hungarian uniforms went through several changes prior to and during WW1. Like much of the Central Powers, uniforms became scarce and there was a declining quality which lead to a wide range of headwear, colours, finishes and modifications to save resources!
This reproduction cap is made of museum quality materials and the workmanship is outstanding. A very high quality Pre1907 Cap which is perfect for displaying your genuine Austro-Hungarian cap badges so widely used in WW1. See final picture as an example (These badges are not included in the sale).
If you like a snug fit order your correct head size, if you like a loose fit order a size larger!
