WH (Heer) Feldgendarmerie 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. Complete with celluloid manufacturers sweat-diamond ('Raute'). The cap has no visible size markings, the size is approximately 56cms. The Visor cap is piped in the bright orange branch-colour (Truppenfarbe) as intended for an 'Feldgendarmerie' Officer. The grey leather sweatband is in good condition, the sweatband is nicely maker marked by tailor 'Eduard Sachs K.G.' from Berlin. The black coloured visor looks to have been re-attached at one point, see photos. The cap is complete with an original hand-embroidered cap-eagle and cocarde. The cap is in very good condition showing only some minor moth-nipping to the piping. This is a hard to find branch-colour and would make a nice addition to any Feldgendarmerie display. Stunning original visor cap in very good condition!
