GERMAN WWII LUFTWAFFE OFFICERS VISOR CAP.

A well service worn possibly size 56 Luftwaffe officers visor cap, good saddle shape, the main body of the cap is constructed in the Luftwaffe officers smooth high quality material, no moth damage to anywhere on the upper part of the cap. The silver waffenfarbe to the upper crown has lost an area of its wire weave and exposing its wire underlay to a length of 5cm in the area above the national eagle. Standard mohair officers centre band, complete with a matched set of wire woven national eagle and cockade. A small area of moth damage to the black wool edging of the cockade in the area just above the wire officers cap cords. Matching side buttons which are of a slightly larger variety than normally encountered. The officer has used two shoulder board fitting buttons of the style that are screw threaded, therefore enabling the buttons to the unscrewed and the officers cord removed. Standard double thickness front peak. To the interior the leather sweatband is all complete, extra stitches have been added to the peak to ensure that the peak is more securely attached to the main body of the cap. The gold silk lining is heavily service worn with the remains only of the centre celluloid lozenge intact. Very faint traces of its Erel trademark, which was silver blocked, to the underside of the celluloid lozenge. A good service worn and personalised Luftwaffe officers visor cap.
