#8259-FIRE POLICE NCO VISOR CAP: Unusual pattern, fire service visor cap as worn by enlisted and NCO ranks. The private purchase cap is in the standard teller form, being of dark blue wool trikot with a blue-grey wool band and wool carmine piping. The insignia consists of a silver finished state eagle and plain national Kokarde  above a “political” style leather chinstrap. The gold colored silk lining is complete with a sweatband of brown leather and well matched to the brown underside of the visor.  This lining never had a cello diamond and is unmarked except for an unidentified stamp of “40” (cap size appears to be a 57). Dating to the mid 1930’s period, this cap was most likely used by a Bavarian State level or Military associated Feuerwehr.  The cap shows use with light wear, age toning to its insignia, minor crazing to the chinstrap. The interior lining has two worn spots and a split in the sweatband. Condition II-  $
