{"product_id":"german-wwii-reichsbahn-leaders-visor-cap","title":"GERMAN WWII REICHSBAHN LEADERS VISOR CAP","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fabulously rare cap from the Third Reich period, being the highest rank in the Railway  Organisation known as the Reichsbahn, constructed in a blue-tinted grey, very high-quality material. Two small areas of moth tracking to the nap, one on the crown and another one to the lower right of the eagle. The cap is approximately size 55 or 56 and is by the very unusual maker Hermann Potthoff of Coesfeld. They were the only company other than Erel to patent a ventilation system for German visor caps; the trade name was Frischluft. The gold waffenfarbe is all in cellion, matching cellion cap cords and a wonderful set of hand-embroidered cellion insignia. The central cockade is vented. To the interior, the cap is gold satin-lined, the fully ‘Frischluft’ and ‘HPC’ logo to the central lozenge is in place, all the lettering in silver colour. The fresh air system is visible just behind the sweatband when the sweatband is pulled down. There is some rust around the two steel air vents. Gold side buttons, standard black visor. Some cloudiness on the front of the visor on the exterior. Very fine saddle shape. The identical cap ( although misdescribed as a Bahnshutz ) ) is shown in the interesting work on headgear entitled Exotisch by Paul Sack and Robbie Wilson, with three beautiful colour pictures of an identical cap with the Frischluft vented cockade clearly visible. It is a different cap from the cap we have, as there is no cloudiness to the visor on the photographed cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRef; 96714\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regimentals Militaria Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53206276735312,"sku":null,"price":4950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/4420\/5648\/files\/DSC_3661_ff6ec2f3-1c34-4280-b230-57cae8e9789c.jpg?v=1782741067","url":"https:\/\/regimentalsmilitaria.co.uk\/products\/german-wwii-reichsbahn-leaders-visor-cap","provider":"Regimentals Militaria Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
