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 an 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 '57' marked. The brown coloured leather sweatband is in good used condition with some small tears and minor discoloration, the underside is stamped with "H B 1938", there is a RZM tag which indicates the maker code '195' for the manufacturer 'Heinrich Wille'. The cap is complete with it's in my opinion original applied tombac cap-eagle and cap-skull (Totenkopf or death's head). The cap shows normal traces of usage and wear with only one small moth-nip to the wool on the back of the cap, the cap is in overall very good condition, the cap has a great shape. They don't come much better! Scarce and hard to find original Allgemeine-SS Visor Cap in very good condition!
