#10323-EARLY LUFTWAFFE / D.L.V. OFFICERS VISOR CAP: Very rare example of the pre 1935 visor cap as worn by members of the Deutsche Luftfahrt and by some motor pilots of the D.L.V. This private purchase example is in a low-saddled form being of a “bluer” blue-grey uniform wool. It has matched piping in the same color wool and a capband of black ribbed mohair.  The front has a standard M29 state/political eagle above an aluminum first pattern DL winged wreath. It has a standard Officers pattern aluminum chincord that is secured by two lightly pebbled side buttons. The visor is of black fiber with a stitched reinforced edge. Its interior has a two-piece lining consisting of an upper “roof” of brown impregnated cloth with matching side panels of brown cotton. The upper portion has a silver oxide stamping “Wasserdicht- Stirndruckfrei-Deutsches Reichspatent”  denoting that the cap is waterproof among other things. It is complete with a full sweatband of brown leather having an edging of black velvet. The cap shows light use and some age with wear to the interior and some crazing to the visor. It also has a very tiny nip to the front center top, otherwise a prime example in condition II+ $1250.00
