Sachsen Schützen Regiment Nr.108 NCO Schirmmütze
 
 
Sachsen (Saxon) NCO Schirmmütze from Kgl. Sächs. Schützen (Füsilier)-Regiment Prinz Georg Nr.108, Dresden, XII Armee Korps. This very nice quality Schirmmütze is made from a high quality Dunkelgrün (dark green) doeskin wool with Ponceaurot (poppy red) piping. The Sachsen Dunkelgrün was darker than Preußen Jäger, looking almost green/black.
