WH (Heer) Artillery Officer's Visor Cap
WH (Heer) Artillery 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 Officer's example. The celluloid sweat-diamond ('Raute') is present but not visible marked, there is a carton name-tag named to 'Oberfähnrich Müller'. The simulated leather sweatband is in good used condition. The Visor cap is piped in the red 'Truppenfarbe' (branch-colour) for Artillery personnel. The cap is complete with its original aluminum cap-eagle and hand-embroidered cocarde. The cap is showing normal traces of usage and some small moth nipping to the wool, see photos. Thhe cap is having a great 'crusher' look shape. This cap would look great in an Artillery or Sturmgeschütz display. Stunning original visor cap in very good condition!
