An Early Lufthansa Attendant's Side Cap
Constructed with a black wool exterior, with two rising peaks forming a valley between the two, a 16 mm wide tally ribbon in black rayon stitched in place near the opening around the circumference of the cap, the tally ribbon with "LUFT=HANSA" in gold-coloured embroidery on the front, flanked by planes on either side in red and white embroidery, the tally ribbons knotted together at the rear and stitched in place, the dangling ends each with gold-coloured embroidered rank insignia, the rank insignia incorporating a star above a thin chevron facing a wide chevron. The interior is unlined, with a 10 mm wide navy blue strip of rayon sewn in place near the opening. The cap measures 100 mm x 260 mm, very clean, with intact stitching and is free of interruptions in the fabric, extremely fine.
