ITEM #12776  

#12776-GERMAN RED CROSS NCO VISOR CAP: Nice example of this increasingly hard to find cap as worn by the enlisted and NCO ranks of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz. The cap appears to be in the 1935 teller pattern updated with the addition of the correct 1938 pattern cap wreath. The cap is produced of charcoal grey uniform wool having a light grey wool band and lighter grey wool piping. The front has the correct enamel DRK eagle above the aluminum wreath with nickel plated Kokarde. Below is an interesting, single buckle chinstrap of black pebbled leather. The interior has a side lining of brown cotton along with an interior "roof" of grass green silk having the direct silver imprint of the maker. This interior is complete with a full sweatband of brown leather along with the faded name of the original owner written on the underside of the visor. The cap shows some age, some small moth nips, areas of light soiling along with soiling to the interior and a hairline split to the sweatband.  Remains in a solid, Condition III+ $550.00
