Original Item: Only One Available. This Luftwaffe visor cap is the correct blue grey wool construction visor cap with a very subtle whipcord weave features a black, horizontally ribbed, interwoven, mohair centerband, and bright, interwoven silver aluminum piping to the crown edge and both the top and bottom edges of the center band.

The front center of the cap has a hand embroidered, second pattern, Luftwaffe eagle in bright silver aluminum bullion wire threads with bright silver aluminum bullion accent threads on a cut-out, Luftwaffe blue grey wool base. The eagle is neatly hand-stitched to the cap.

The front center of the hat band has a hand embroidered, winged, oak-leaf wreath in silver/aluminum wire threads, encompassing a hand embroidered national tri-color cockade. The wreath has grey and black accent threads and the national tri-color cockade is constructed in black and silver/aluminum wire threads with a central, red wool dot. The winged wreath and cockade are mounted on a cut-out black wool base which is also hand-stitched in place.

The cap has an interwoven, twisted, silver aluminum, braid, chin cord which is secured to the cap by two, small, silver washed, pebbled, alloy buttons. The cap has a forward, extended, blackened lacquered, vulcanfiber visor with a machine stitched, simulated, leather trim to the forward edge.

The interior of the cap is fully lined in grey (faded champagne color?) rayon. Original celluloid shield absent. The maker name and logo can be faintly seen and reads: Fewelga Deutsche Wertarbeit

FELIX WEISSBACH of GLAUCHAU was a rather prolific maker and used two main types of label, both characterized by the presence of a circle with a stylized eagle (right-oriented head) bearing the words Deutsche Wertarbeit on the chest. The first pattern had an inscription with the maker’s full name and residence below the circle. The second pattern had the words Fewegla (over) and Erstklassig or Sonderklasse (under) added to the circle.This example is the second pattern.

The interior of the cap retains the original leather sweatband and retains its with ventilation perforations to the front forehead section. The sweatband has come apart from the lining at the front of the cap, but all damage is from being worn.

Overall a great looking hat which apart from the celluloid and sweatband is offered in excellent condition.

Visor caps were a standard item for all military personnel during the Third Reich period and regulations dictated the form of dress they were to be worn with based on the individuals rank.

On its inception on February 26TH 1935, the Luftwaffe adopted most of the uniform items of the earlier DLV, Deutscher Luftsport Verband, (German Air Sports League), its civilian forerunner, including the visor cap. In March 1935 the earlier, “Tellerform”, saucer shaped, caps were replaced with a new a “Sattelform” cap with a higher front peak and an oval shaped top. Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own caps and as a result were allotted a clothing allowance through the Luftwaffes Verkaufsabteilung, (Air-Force Sales Department), system.

The Officers and certain senior NCOs could choose to purchase their caps from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase visor caps of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps although the price may have been restrictive. Company and Field grade Officers caps were distinguished from the EM/NCOs caps by bright silver/aluminum piping and a silver/aluminum chin cord while General Officers ranks utilized gold colored fittings. EM/NCO ranks visor caps utilized the appropriate waffenfarbe, (Branch of Service Color), piping and blackened leather chinstraps.
