This is a fine example of a WW1-era Swiss Army officer’s kepi, manufactured by A. Mascher of Bern. The kepi features a sturdy wool crown in a classic feldgrau (field gray) color, accented with black piping and golden trim. The leather chin strap, secured by brass buttons, complements the polished black leather peak, which shows minor wear consistent with age.

Inside, the hat is lined with brown leather and a golden interior. A maker’s label from A. Mascher, Bern, is sewn into the liner, a mark of quality craftsmanship from the early 20th century. The kepi exhibits excellent construction, and its overall condition reflects careful preservation.

This kepi was a key component of Swiss Army officer uniforms during the Great War, serving both practical and ceremonial purposes. A great piece for collectors of military headgear or Swiss militaria enthusiasts.

This kepi is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Swiss military history from the First World War. Ideal for display or inclusion in a curated collection.
