Infantry EM/NCO'S Visor Cap (Schirmmütze).
Visor caps were a standard issue item for all EM/NCO personnel during the Third Reich period and regulations dictated the form of dress they were to be worn with based on the individuals rank.
Regulations for wear of the visor cap by EM/NCO ranks dictated that they be worn with the Reporting and Walking-Out dress, and the Undress uniform.
Regulations also required Senior NCO’s to wear the visor cap with the Service uniform. Originally the insignia worn on the visor cap consisted the Weimar Reichsheer patterns which were replaced with the second pattern in March 1935.
Certain Senior NCO ranks were also permitted to wear privately purchased visor caps of higher quality.
Nice quality, visor cap with a field-grey wool body and crown with a subtle whipcord weave and a blue/green badge cloth centerband with white wool waffenfarbe to the crown edge and both the top and bottom edges of the centerband. Good quality aluminum eagle and cockade.
The chinstrap are absent.
The cap has an extended, black lacquered vulcanfibre visor with a subtly raised lip at the forward edge. The interior of the cap is fully lined in orangish/tan oilcloth.
The interior of the cap also it wide tan leather sweatband, broken in two places.As in the attached photos.
