#7112-JUSTICE HEADDRESS: Ultra-rare example of the unique headdress as worn by German Judges as part of their courtroom attire. This traditional round cap is of black cotton cloth having two stiffened, upright panels of deep purple velvet. These panels are interlaced at each side with two strips of gold bullion soutace. The interior is fully lined with black silk cloth having a full sweatband of brown calfskin leather. It is complete with the machine sewn BeVo label of a Berlin Vestments maker. There is not much research available on these garments but period photos of the infamous Judge Roland Freisler show him wearing a purple cap like this, which I believe is the color for Judges of the National courts. In clean condition with minor age and toning to the bullion soutace. Condition II+  $1800.00
