    This handsome visor cap has a body of soft wool that is very clean. There is minor tracking in a few spots and a small amount of discoloration too. The top panel and at the upper and lower edges of the dark green badge cloth center band are piped in dark yellow (minor nips) indicating cavalry personnel. There is a silver finished aluminum eagle and wreath, each retaining all of their finish (minor discoloration to the eagle). The silver finished cockade has a red felt bulls eye. The officer type, double chin cord is silver bullion and held in place by a pair of pebbled, silver finished buttons. The black vulkanfibre visor has a few chips and some very minor fading. The underside is finished in a cream hue and lightly crosshatched. The interior is fully lined in gold rayon that is very clean. There is a rhomboid shaped moisture shield that is fully intact. The maker info is seen on the moisture shield. "Ihr Uniformschneider Bekleidungshaus Georg Schwert - Bamberg Adolf Hitler Str. 21 - Sämtl. Militär-Effekten" ( Your Uniform Tailor, Clothier House Georg Schwert, Bamberg, Adolf Hitler Str. 21, all military effects) A noted expert has said that the cap was actually made by Schellenburg, and Schwert was just a distributor. The sweatband is light brown leather. It is fully intact with minor wear and discoloration from use. The cap is a size 57.
