Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition German WWII Military Administration Officer's Schirmmütze Visor Cap, with a lovely "Crushed" shape. This "saddle-form" shape is highly desirable, and is only achieved on caps with a lot of wear and service. The cap shows high quality fabrication, made with typical Heer army feldgrau (Field Gray) green / gray wool with a forest green band and a traditional high front, with matching Blau (Blue) piping along the top edge and flanking either side of the band, the Waffenfarbe (Corps Color) for Vehicle troops (Kraftfahrparktruppen) and the Supply troop (Nachschubtruppe).
It is decorated with a well detailed aluminum Reichsadler National Eagle insignia on the peak and and an open silver bullion embroidered wreath surrounding a tri-color metal cockade on the band. It has the correct Silver bullion cord "chinstrap", attached to silvered buttons, indicating that this cap is for an Officer. The visor / peak on this cap is black-finished "vulcanfibre", the standard material for NCOs and Officers alike.
The cap is lined with black rayon fabric and still retains the complete leather top diamond. We unfortunately cannot read the faded maker markings. The brown leather sweatband is present, but shows much wear and has some tears. Some areas are completely missing. There is a felt pad under the front side for comfort. This definitely looks to be a bespoke cap, and not a standard issued example. It must have seen extensive use in service to get this type of wear.
This is a very nice, high quality German Heer Supply & Vehicle Troops Officer peak visor cap, offered for sale in very good condition with a beautiful saddle-form shape. Ready to display!
