Allgemeine-SS EM/NCO's Visor Cap (Schirmmütze für Mannschaften und Unterführer). Visor caps were a standard item for all armed forces personnel during the Third Reich period. SS Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own uniforms and headgear. This is a nice quality issue black coloured wool/tricot blend construction EM/NCO's visor cap, the cap features a wide, black centerband and white wool 'Waffenfarbe' piping to the top of the crown edge and both the top and bottom edges of the black centerband. There is a faded ink stamp "RZM SS" on the underside of the visor. The interior of the cap is having a top panel finished in orange brown oil cloth, while the sides are a similar hued cloth. The diamond shaped celluloid sweat-shield is slightly damaged, the SS runes in a circle are present, it is size '55' marked. The brown coloured leather sweatband is in fragile condition with some tears and small damages and it looks to have been slighlty glued at some points, see photos, there is a RZM tag which indicates the maker code '295'. The cap is complete with its in my opinion original applied tombac cap-eagle and cap-skull (Totenkopf or death's head), the cap eagle unfortunaly has one broken prong which is still present on the cap. see close up photo. The cap is in unissued condition, still having paper protection inside the cap, the cap is in overall very good condition. The cap is stored in a period hat transport box as found together. Scarce and hard to find original Allgemeine-SS Visor Cap in good condition!
