The body of the cap has several small scattered holes. The interior of the cap has a full light blue lining and light leather sweatband, both of which show age, fading and expected wear.

In 1897 a new Reichs-Kokarde in Red-White-Black was introduced for all ranks to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kaiser Wilhelm 1st. The Reichs-Kokarde was to be worn on the right side of the Pickelhaube, and worn centered between the band and the top row of piping on Krätzchen and Schirmmütze. Meanwhile, the state kokarde was to be worn centered upon the lower band.
