DAF Personnel Visor Cap

Third Reich DAF Personnel Visor Cap – Gebrüder Wegerhoff Contract (Condition: Excellent / Near-Mint)This outstanding, 100% textbook ensemble brings together a strictly period-original Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF) visor cap (Schirmmütze) and its corresponding high-tier tradition cap shield badge (Mützenabzeichen).The dark navy blue wool body of the cap remains in pristine, beautifully light-worn condition with zero moth damage or fading. It features a complete and flawless black patent leather chinstrap (Sturmriemen) alongside an immaculate black vulcanized visor peak. The cap is defined by its highly desirable, early-pattern wide black mohair cap band, intricately woven with the traditional oak leaf design. The interior reveals a crisp, high-quality tan leather sweatband (Schweißband) and a beautiful sky-blue silk lining. Safely preserved beneath its fully intact moisture-shielding celluloid sweat diamond (Celluloid-Raute) is the striking, deeply embossed golden DAF cogwheel cog hallmark stamp.The accompanying oval shield badge is an elite, early-to-mid war variant executed in a vibrant, golden-yellow BeVo weave on a pitch-black silk base, perfectly factory-mounted within its original rope-bordered gilded brass frame. The reverse of the metal frame is deeply embossed with the official contract code RZM No. 53, identifying production by the elite firm of Gebrüder Wegerhoff from Lüdenscheid. This completely untouched, un-repaired veteran’s combination stands as a prime, investment-grade example of Third Reich political headgear.
