H034295 ARTILLERY OFFICER'S VISOR CAP. (Schirmmütze)

BACKGROUND: Visor caps were a standard issue item for all personnel during the Third Reich period and regulations dictated the form of dress they were to be worn with based on the individuals rank. Officer and senior NCO ranks could purchase their caps from the army clothing depots but were also permitted to wear privately purchased visor caps of higher quality.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Nice quality, private purchase, field grey doeskin wool construction visor cap, a blue/green badge cloth centerband and bright red wool waffenfarbe piping to the crown edge and both the top and bottom edges of the centerband. Hand embroidered wreath most probably restored to the cap. Aluminum eagle is missing one of it prongs to the reverse. The cap has a bright, twisted silver/aluminum chin cord which is secured in place by two, small, silver washed, pebbled, alloy buttons. The cap has a black lacquered vulcanfibre visor with a raised lip near the forward edge. The interior of the cap is fully lined in gold rayon. The interior crown lining has a clear celluloid sweat diamond fully intact. Faint makers details on the diamond. Both the sweat band and visor have been restored/re-sewn to the cap. Roughly a size 58. Would be perfect for a full uniform display.
