WH (Heer) Infantry Officer's Visor Cap

Description

WH (Heer) Infantry Officer's Visor Cap (Schirmmütze). Visor caps were a standard item for all armed forces personnel during the Third Reich period. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps. This is a nice privately purchased Officer's example, the celluloid sweat-diamond ('Raute') is present, the logo of the manufacturer has faded out. The Visor cap is piped in the white 'Truppenfarbe' (branch-colour) for Infantry personnel. The brown leather sweatband is in fragile and partly repaired (taped) condition, see photos. The cap is complete with its original late war zinc-type cap eagle and cocarde. The cap is having a correct officer's type chinstrap. The cap is showing clear traces of usage and some small damages, see photos. Nice original visor cap in clearly used and worn condition!
