    Here is an original pre-1910 dunkel-brau (dark blue) Duchy of Braunschweig 92nd Infantry Regiment NCO's visor cap (schirmmütze). This regiment was raised in 1809 during the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal against Napoleon. The regiment suffered extensive casualties during the campaign and was returned home for reorganization, its service in the Napoleonic wars was essentially over. The regiment played only a minor role in the battle of Waterloo with some members being used as replacements. Just the 3rd battalion was entitled to wear the "Totenkopf" traditions badge between the state and Reichs cockade until 1912. The type skull and crossbones on this schirmutze is the style worn by enlisted and non-commissioned officers. The well-worn oil cloth interior is marked with the logo of a military shop located in Neustrelitz. Some moth tracks on the crown and piping keep this example from being excellent but it is still a fine ORIGINAL example of a very elusive visor cap.
