Hello again all,
Just to update this query I posted. From someone on another forum who I sent a query to I received some information. This person said that they thought this cap was a German university students cap. He said that even in the 19th century they wore a face guard when fencing and that the shape of the cap was a classic shape and style that was worn by students. Just figured I'd post that information as an update. I thank Bill(WWII)for his help and information and also thanks to the person on the other forum for his information. Any other comments or information is appreciated also.
Duzig(Bill)
