Germany, Heer. A Flak/Artillery Officer’s Visor Cap by Erel

(Heer Schirmmütze). An extremely well-preserved Heer Flak/Artillery officer’s visor cap, constructed of field-grey wool twill with a forest-green wool cap band. Bands of red piping fully surrounding the crown, as well as the top and bottom of the cap band. Pinned into the peak is a zink insignia in the form of a Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 65 mm (w) x 26 mm (h) and with both reverse attachment prongs intact. Underneath the eagle insignia is a wreath and cockade, each constructed of silvered zink and measuring 70 mm (w) x 40 mm (h). The cap is flanked by pebbled magnetic metal buttons securing in place a decorative chinstrap constructed of multiple rows of twisted and rolled silver aluminum wire. The exterior features complete with a protruding vulcanfibre visor, painted black on the obverse. The interior features a 44 mm-wide brown leather sweatband with ventilation perforations at the forehead. It comes with a complete field-frey rayon liner, with the crown bearing a silver maker’s mark of “OFFIZIER-KLEIDERKASSER, EREL, BERLIN”, underneath a transparent teardrop-shaped moisture guard. The moisture guard bears a paper insert marked with a size mark of “55 ½”. There is an additional Erel mark on the sweatband. The cap measures approximately 228 mm (w) x 245 mm (l) x 160 mm (h). Minor material fatigue is evident, with some soiling of the interior liner also apparent. The cap is in an overall near extremely fine condition.
