That's a great cap. One of the cleanest FJ unit marked caps I have seen.

Stunning cap and piece of history Bob!

I noticed that it also has the rarely used "Erste Garnitur" ("First set") Roman numeral marking ("I"), which I believe might have indicated 'parade condition'.

Some more examples of this can be seen in this older thread, which actually has a link to your cap!
