This item has a two piece pre WWII Reichs Kokade (circular badge or patch usually worn by military or political powers to dresses up the uniform caps) on it. The Kokade is approximately 1.25” across the top ring is gold colored on black with a red felt center and brass fasteners. The over all holder measurers 6" long x .25" at the point x 3" at the hair end. The holder that the Kokade is a attached to is green felt. The holder was designed to put boars hair/feathers in after the kill and then displayed proudly on the hunters cap as a trophy. The Kokade holds everything together then attaches to the cap with the brass fasteners. We have had several militaria people look at the piece and they all agree that it is boars hair pre WWII & was worn on the cap/hat as a trophy of the accomplished kill. A couple of them say it is WWI because of the colors used to make up the kokade. NOTE: we have no further information or background on this piece.
