Description
Description: The Schirmmutzen visor cap was a standard piece of headgear for all personnel during the Third Reich, with specific regulations governing its use based on an individual’s rank. This reproduction stays true to the historical design, complete with the detailed national eagle and oak leaf wreath introduced in 1935. The dark green velvet band was also standardized that same year, replacing the earlier field-grey centerband.
Originally, the insignia on the visor caps included the Weimar pattern oak leaf wreath and cockade, paired with a blackened leather chinstrap for all ranks. In 1927, officer ranks began wearing silver chin cords for Leutnant to Oberst and gilt cords for Generalmajor to Generalfeldmarschall. The white piping on this visor cap signifies its allocation to infantry personnel, a feature consistent for EM/NCO’s and officers within the infantry branch.
Whether you're a reenactor or collector, this faithful reproduction of the WW2 German Army Officer's visor cap makes a valuable addition to any uniform or display. Secure yours today!
