£1,100.00
An original German officer's visor cap (Schirmmütze) for the Signals branch (Nachrichtentruppe), featuring the distinctive lemon-yellow piping in wool.
The interior features a honey colored satin lining, protected by an intact celluloid diamond shield. Embossed in silver beneath the diamond is the logo for "Militarwarenhaus Hans Durbeck, Wien IX, Berggasse 31 Erel Sonderklasse Standard", indicating a high tier production model visor.
The cap is fitted with a brown leather sweatband showing honest period wear while still remaining soft and pliable.
The exterior feldgeau wool is the superior 'doeskin' which is of more superior quality and maintaining it'd iconic saddle shape profile.
Complete with original period insignia: an aluminium eagle and a bullion wire oakleaf witn metal cocarde on bottle green badge cloth, this has been hand sewn together to the dark green cloth band.
The 'Sonderklasse' was Erel's premier line in visors and favored by military personnel in all services for its durability and style.
