#10301-LUFTWAFFE  SIGNALS NCO VISOR CAP: Fine, private purchase example of the visor cap as worn by Luftwaffe signals enlisted & NCO ranks. It is of blue-grey wool trikot having a black mohair band with copper brown wool piping. The front has a nicely matched set of Luftwaffe second pattern insignia in bright aluminum above a chinstrap of black patent leather. The interior is lined in rust brown cotton cloth and retains a fully marked cello diamond to the scarce maker Ostland. It is 1939 dated with a size marking of 57. The light brown leather sweatband is intact and in clean condition with its original orange sponge brow pad on the reverse. The exterior of the cap remains extra clean with the visor and chinstrap free of the typical age crazing. The eagle’s lower swastika is slightly bent and the visor has a few tiny scuffs with what looks like the residue of a small sticker. The interior also remains in outstanding condition with no defects. A fine example in condition I- $650.00
