Original German WWII Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery EM/NCO Schirmmütze Visor Cap

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely service used condition German WWII Kriegsmarine Küstenartillerie (Navy Coastal Artillery) EM/NCO Schirmmütze Visor Cap. This example still retains the crown support stiffener ring, so it is not a “crushed” example. The cap shows high quality fabrication, made with typical feldgrau (Field Gray) green / gray wool with a flaschengrün (dark bottle-green) "badge cloth" band and a traditional high front, with matching bottle green piping around the top. This is very similar to the Army Heer visor cap, except that there are no corps colors around the green band, and the insignia are Kriegsmarine Gold.

It is decorated with a well detailed stamped gold washed alloy Wehrmachtadler National Eagle insignia on the peak and an open gold washed cast aluminum oak leaf and acorn wreath surrounding an aluminum and metal tri-color cockade on the band. These are in very good shape, and have a lovely patina on the gold washed components, particularly the eagle. The cap has the correct black patent leather EM/NCO chin strap with double buckles, which is held in place by two gilt Kriegsmarine buttons. The visor / peak on this cap is the typical black-finished "vulcanfibre" pressed composite material. It is in great shape, still well-attached to the cap, and looks the same on the underside.

The cap is lined with brown rayon, which shows a good amount of staining from use. We do not see any evidence that it ever had any type of sweat shield on the inner crown, and there are no maker markings we can see, outside of a Eagle logo that may have had maker information under it at one point. The sweatband is made from oilcloth, and is now in delicate condition. It is cracking a bit, and there are numerous smaller tears and wrinkles in the material. The cap is roughly a Size 6¾. 

This is a very nice, high quality German Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery peak visor cap, offered for sale in very good condition. These are quite rare! Ready to display!
