This is an attractive - and just minimally used- and/or worn! - example of a WH (Heeres) bright-red-piped, enlisted-mens- (ie. NCO-) type visor-cap (ie. 'Schirmmütze für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere der (Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen') that comes in a wonderful- (and truly totally untouched!-), condition. The visor-cap - that retains it nicely-shaped so-called: 'Sattelform' - is executed in 'Extra Qualität'-type, field-grey-coloured, 'Heeres'-pattern woolen-based wool and truly shows no damage whatsoever (as can be seen on the pictures). The cap shows a clearly present (printed) makers'-designation (that reads: 'Carl Schweitzer - Dortmund - Brückstrasse 4 - Stirndrückfrei') but misses it so-called: 'Raute'-shaped (and most times 'Mica'-based) 'protective-pouch' (ie. 'Raute'). The piece retains its (fully preserved and undamaged) light-brown-coloured sweat-band in place (as can be seen on the pictures). The visor-cap came with a (fully matching and 'frosted'-silver-toned- ie. aluminium-based) set of cap-insignia period-attached and shows a (black-toned) leather-based 'Sturmriemen' in place as to be expected. The cap is a regular-sized example and (I deem) measures 58 cms. (which is a size that would easily fit a mannequins'-head as can be seen on the pictures). The cap shows the neat, typical yellowish-beige-coloured lining (which is standard for these caps). This interesting visor-cap - which originates from a private-household in Germany and that was never before part of a collection - shows only minimal, wear, age and/or staining (I deem just caused by decades of storage and/or minimal wear) but truly retains all its woolen-based 'nap': it is fully untouched. Simply a very attractive - and naturally 100% genuine! - period example of an (I deem) early- (ie. mid-war-) period- and/or: 'standard-pattern' 'Schirmmütze für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere der (Sturm)Artillerie-Truppen' and that is very hard (ie. almost impossible) to be upgraded!
