This Item
An extraordinary, investment-grade, and entirely unissued World War II German Luftwaffe Enlisted Men / NCO / Kombination visor cap (Schirmmütze) for Flight and Fallschirmjäger personnel, featuring the iconic golden-yellow (gelb) wool piping. Remaining in breathtaking, dead-mint condition, this cap looks as if it rolled off the Berlin factory assembly line yesterday. It represents a true museum-grade depot time capsule that has remained entirely unworn and unissued for over eighty years, executed in a highly desirable, large size 59 The "AAA" Affordable Investment: At a highly competitive price of €995,-, this pristine cap perfectly embodies the second "A" (Affordable) of our AAA-militaria standard. Finding an unissued Third Reich visor cap completely untouched by time and entirely free of wear is practically impossible on the global market today, making this an incredibly reasonable investment for an advanced collector seeking a centerpiece item. The Shell & Premium Wool: The cap features an immaculate, textbook Luftwaffe-blue/grey wool body showcasing a flawless, high-peak saddle shape. The wool is in pristine condition, entirely free of moth damage, fading, or tracking. The golden-yellow piping is vibrant and completely intact. It features its original black leather chinstrap in pristine mint condition, secured by flawless, high-gloss factory-blackened buckles and side buttons. The Visor & Insignia Upgrade Note: The vulcanized fiber visor peak exhibits a spectacular, mirror-like high-gloss black finish on the exterior, with its correct, smooth chocolate-brown finish on the underside. The cap features an immaculate, highly detailed aluminum tri-color cockade that retains 100% of its original silver wash, flanked by pristine black and red central accents. (Note for Collectors: This cap was historically found as an unissued depot spare without a factory-mounted eagle. A previous collector period-mounted an aluminum eagle which currently has a broken attachment prong. Because original, unused mint aluminum Luftwaffe eagles are still widely available and relatively cheap on the market today, replacing this minor piece will effortlessly upgrade this cap back to its ultimate, flawless factory potential). The Pristine Interior & Sweat Shield: The interior is lined with a magnificent, high-grade chocolate-brown silky satin fabric that remains entirely unstained and free of wear. The celluloid moisture shield is 100% intact and tightly stitched, displaying a large size 59 stamp on the lower section. The center features the crisp, silver-embossed manufacturer logo and address of this small, quality workshop: "A. Heste, Berliner Uniform-Mützenfabrik, Berlin SW, Wilhelmstraße 110".
The Sweatband & Factory Stamps: The chocolate-brown leather sweatband is in flawless, ultra-pliable mint condition. The reverse reveals highly detailed, crisp vertical factory control ink stamps: 18408p . The rear seam where the leather ends meet remains factory-secured by its original, untouched 90-degree retention stitch thread.
