Germany, SS. An Allgemeine SS EM/NCO’s Visor Cap, RZM-Marked

(Schirmmütze für Männer der Allgemeine SS). An extremely well-preserved Allgemeine SS EM.NCO’s visor cap, constructed of smooth black whipcord wool. It features reinforced side walls, similarly lined on the exterior with a smooth black whipcord wool cap band, giving the cap a seamless appearance. The cap band is fully trimmed along both the top and bottom edges with white wool piping, with an additional band of identical piping fully surrounding the crown. Pinned onto the peak of the cap is a silvered bronze insignia consisting of a first pattern SA/SS-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 40 mm (w) x 26 mm (h). Underneath the eagle, the centre of the cap band bears an early Danziger-style Totenkopf insignia, constructed of a silvered metal alloy and measuring 35 mm (w) x 30 mm (h). The left side of the cap band bears an additional insignia consisting of a silvered and gilded bronze edelweiss, with a central six-bulbed stamen overlaid by a black mobile swastika and measuring 40 mm (w) x 40 mm (h). The cap band is also flanked on each side by blackened magnetic metal buttons securing in place a black leather two-piece chinstrap, adjusted with two functional black magnetic metal buckles. The chinstrap rests upon a protruding black vulcanfibre visor, finished in a matte brown on the reverse. A 38 mm-wide brown leather sweatband fully surrounds the interior of the rim, and is secured in place with machine stitching. The interior also features a brown rayon-blended liner, with a transparent black rhomboid moisture guard stitched onto the crown. Underneath the moisture guard, the liner bears a fully-intact gilt SS insignia in the form of double Sig runes within dual rings. Additionally, an intact Reichszeugmeisterei (RZM) label is stitched to the cap underneath the sweatband, and bears a secondary code of “131246”. There is an additional SS RZM insignia stamped onto the reverse of the visor in black ink. The cap measures approximately 255 mm (w) x 260 mm (l) x 160 mm (h). While extremely well-preserved, the cap demonstrates some issues consistent with age and use. These include some material fatigue of the wool and leather elements, loss of finish to the insignia, and a small crack to the left side of the visor. An uncommon early cap in overall near extremely fine condition.
