Imperial German Baden Students or Veterans M1867 Schirmmütze.

An Imperial German 1867 Schirmmütze or visor cap, this one dates from around 1875 85. We can tell that by a number of things; it has a wide plate like top a deep Pagri and a very small visor or peek. This is a very unusual cap as it has the colours of the imperial German flag as its Pagri.

Royal Berkshire regiment Cap Badge.

Gilt brass cap badge of the Princess Charlotte of Wales Royal Berkshire regiment. This badge was used for a long time, until 1959 when it was merged with the Wiltshire regiment. I would think it probably dates from the either pre WW2 or post WW2 when brass badges were gilded. It is in wonderful condition still showing a lot of its original gilt finish.
