This is a magnificent German WWII Mountain Troop Officer's Visor Cap, in exceptional condition and approximately size 57. The cap features a high saddle shape, a defining characteristic of high-quality officer headgear, and is adorned with the green Waffenfarbe unique to the mountain troops, symbolizing their elite status.

The center of the lining features an undamaged celluloid lozenge with a silver-embossed triangle, bearing the name "FLITE" of the retailer or manufacturer.
