GERMAN WWII ARMY GENERAL’S VISOR CAP

A very nice condition Army General’s visor cap, high saddle shape, constructed in the officer quality ribbed material. Gold wire waffenfarbe to the crown and to the upper and lower sections of the darker green centre band. The insignia fitted is a complete matching set of cellion eagle, cockade and chin cords, complete with gold side buttons. The cap has a size label of ‘56’ underneath the lozenge, but on test, the cap appears to be slightly larger. The interior mid tan leather sweatband is all complete and undamaged, with evidence of wear and use. The inner satin lining material has some dampness and stains. The centre celluloid lozenge is complete with the Clemens Wagner logo of ‘CW’ to the centre of the lozenge, with the word ' ERSTKLASSIG ' in the middle of an eagle ‘ERSTKLASSIG’ to the centre of the lozenge. When the insignia was attached, the stitching pierced the inner lining on both the eagle and the cockade. The cork cushion is still in place on the forehead area. A very good example of a late-war Army General’s visor cap.
