#12754-HEER INFANTRY OFFICERS VISOR CAP: Fine example of an early period, private purchase visor cap as worn by a Heer Infantry Officer. The nicely saddled cap is of field grey doeskin wool with a dark green wool band and white wool piping. The front has a nice set of bright aluminum 2nd pattern insignia above a silver content chincord (shows light age tone) secured by aluminum pebble buttons. The high class interior is fully lined with gold rayon cloth with a full sweatband of brown leather with a black velvet edge. It is complete with a full Pekuro marked cello diamond, having the impression (the silver ink is gone) of the original distributor and the hand written paper label of the original owner. This same owner's name is also neatly punched into the leather sweatband.  This striking cap remains in nice shape with a few minor moth tracks near the top and light overall age.
