Item Description
Original Items: Only One Available. This Peaked Visor is not only appealing to the eye but is also of great historical significance. Despite appearing to be a standard -General's “Winter Service” Green Class-A uniform visor, there are a few distinctive features that set it apart from others. The cap came to us as being attributed to General Wallace C. Magathan, who at this time was Commander, United States Army Security Assistance Command.
The United States Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC) – "the 'Army's Face to the World'" - implements security assistance programs, including Foreign Military Sales (FMS) of defense articles and services to eligible foreign governments. In addition, USASAC is responsible for the US Army's security assistance information management and financial policy and provides logistics guidance to the army's security assistance community. The command also supports the U.S. government's emergency assistance, humanitarian relief, and Operations Other Than War, including peacekeeping operations by the United Nations. The USASAC traces its origins to the Army's technical service era, and was designated a major subordinate command (MSC) of the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) in 1975. Since its formation, USASAC has supported major US military operations and supported international peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts. The USASAC's motto is "Strength in Cooperation."
This visor cap still has the original maker label mostly clear on the interior crown, under the celluloid sweat guard, which has yellowed over time:

The sweatband is also embossed Luxenberg with their 485 Madison Avenue - New York address. The size label is still present and indicates the size as 6 ⅞.
