Germany, Ordnungspolizei. A Schutzpolizei Officer’s Visor Cap by Peter Küpper, c.1939

(Schutzpolizei Einheitsmütze). This is an extremely well-preserved Schutzpolizei (Protection Police) officer’s visor cap, constructed of smooth field-grey wool with a black wool cap band. The cap features three bands of woven, green Waffenfarbe piping at the top, middle, and bottom. Pinned into the peak is a silvered and blackened aluminum cockade with red felt centre, measuring 22 mm in diameter. The cap band features an Ordnungspolizei (Order Police) style insignia badge, constructed of aluminum, depicting a German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, surrounded by an oval oak leaf wreath. The cap is flanked by two pebbled magnetic buttons, holding in place a braided silver aluminum bullion wire chinstrap, itself ornately knotted on both ends and resting upon the visor. The visor is constructed of lacquered vulcanfibre, with a black exterior and green interior. The cap features a tan-coloured leather sweatband covering the circumference of the interior, securely held in place by machine stitching. A complete interior liner, constructed of light-brown rayon, bears a central, transparent, rhomboid moisture guard, onto which is stamped a maker’s mark of PETER KÜPPER WU.-RONSDORF STIRNDRUCKFREI DEUTCHES REICHSPATENT, along with the size 57 and an owner label with illegible handwriting in black ink. The cap measures approximately 24.4 cm (w) x 27.8 cm (l) x 16.2 cm (h). There are some signs of soiling along the cap band, but few to no signs of mothing, and in overall better than extremely fine condition.
