Going through a Rangliste for the Imperial Army today and found this ad in the back.

Very cool.

Thanks for sharing Mike!

I was always wondering where their headquarters would have been. Unfortunately, the original building was destroyed (which is the norm rather than the exception in Hanover). Here is what Theaterstr. 2 looks like today (clearly a 1950ies building)...

Congrats Chris, amazing cap!

If I was a bettin' man, I would lay odds that this is an early-war Welhausen:

Mike - very interesting advert and I agree that this must be a really old advert as the city name changed from Cassel to Kassel in 1928 - so yes, most definitely during the Imperial time.
