DESIRABLE ALLGEMEINE SS OFFICER VISOR CAP.

This handsome visor cap is produced in soft black wool that is excellent with just the slightest hint of wear and discoloration. The front peak is fairly prominent and overall the cap has a nice saddle shape. The white piping around the top panel and the black velvet center band has a few areas of discoloration and wear from age and use. The eagle and skull (totenkopf ) match perfectly and retain a portion of their original frosted finish. These show some wear but are original examples which is very hard to find. The silver bullion, officer’s chin cord is in good condition and remains tightly affixed to the cap via a pair of small silver finished pebbled buttons. The shiny black vulkanfibre visor shows some minor wear and crazing but still remains sound. It remains tightly affixed to the cap. The underside of the visor is finished in the textbook orange/brown hue. You can clearly see the “RZM SS” ink stamp. The interior is fully lined in black cloth that remains in good condition with minor wear from age and use. There is a rhomboid shaped, clear moisture shield that remains partially intact. The brown leather sweatband shows moderate wear and tear, but this is mostly confined to the area of the forehead. Underneath the sweatband is a large, black oil cloth RZM tag which is ink stamped with the number 4 indicating that it was produced by firm of Clemens Wagner of Braunschweig. CONDITION: Very sound condition overall. 4-49546 BS1 (7,000-9,000) – Lot 3319
