Landsturm, or Home guard militia was initially created by a decree of the King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm III on April 21, 1813. Thus the unit did not exist during time of peace and its personnel was recruited only after the declaration of war. In fact Landsturm didn’t exist before the Great War other than on paper.
The most distinctive element of Landsturm uniform worn only by their members was an oilcloth cap that came in various forms. This Model M1913 is a high quality reproduction in mock oilcloth.
It has a oilcloth covering, leather peak, brass eyelets, white cotton interior and leather size adjusting cord. This has been modelled on an original example and there were several examples.
