Qing New Army Hat

I don't think I saw any other Qing items so far in the China forum, so here is a hat that I have from the late Qing Dynasty. The hats would have ranks that match to the officer's rank.

 

In this case, three vertical braids would signify a general officer. One horizontal braid is a major general. The red colored part in the badge would go with a general officer too. Blue is for company and white for field officers.

 

It is missing the chin strap, but still in good condition.

What an outstanding piece of headgear! I’ve never seen another. The Qing Dynasty was the last Chinese dynasty before the Kuomintang movement. Correct?

Thanks scarecrow, Kanemono, RRA227!

 

Yes, but they didn't last long and were persecuted when Yuan Skikai came into power.
