Near Mint Luftwaffe Other Ranks “Schirmmütze” (Visor Cap) for Flight or Paratroop Personnel, by Carl Halfar Dated 1939
This cap has a very smart shape, with the front peak quite high and lightly pointed. The cap is made from a medium shade of fliegerblau (greyish- blue) Trikot wool in quite good quality, which nicely contrasts the brilliant canary yellow piping for personnel in the Flight / Paratrooper branches. The exterior of the cap is in overall in outstanding condition and comes with a very sharp set of aluminum alloy (Leichtmetall) insignia (gorgeous eagle). The patent leather Other Ranks chinstrap and the visor surface show some patchy crazing and dulled areas, but this does not detract much from the visual impression. The visor rim has a fine piqué edge wrapping, which is nice and secure and smartly applied. The visor underside is the usual dark apple green color. The size 59 marked interior is nicely lined on the sides in a light brown muslin-like cotton fabric which is a close match with the thin, tan colored sweatband (which is very clean and in excellent condition and stamped in black on the reverse "KfSL Rud."). The top lining is the ribbed, orange/ tan colored oilcloth material with the moiré pattern in this visible at different light angles. The cap has a rhomboid style celluloid moisture shield in fine condition. The lining beneath is printed in silver ink with the maker name: “Carl Halfar Uniform-Mützenfabrik, Berlin N20, Prinzenallee 74” and the size “59”, as well as the “Lieferjahr 39” (year of delivery). The cap has the original orange Schwammgummi (sponge rubber) cushion in place behind the sweatband. A very sharp looker, and a desirable branch colour.

Directly below is the company location Solingen and beneath is Ges.Geschutzt. The original leather washer is gone to time!
