Luftwaffe Officers Erel “Privat” Visor Cap Well worn and service used Luftwaffe officers visor cap by
Erel. Cap body is constructed in
a very fine quality tricot blue-gray wool and is in very good condition with
a nice saddle shape. There is
some wear to the bullion piping with the reed rod protruding through the mesh
in several areas. The bullion insignia shows some wear and corrosion and is
consistent with other wear. The interior shows a considerable amount of wear
and the mint green lining typical of the “Privat” series has
faded to a brownish hue (though still green in the hidden areas). The sweatshield
is long ago broken away, but the sweatband is intact. Nice, salty visor with a great shape. |
