WH (Heer) Artillery Officer's Visor Cap

WH (Heer) Artillery Officer's Visor Cap (Schirmmütze). Visor caps were a standard item for all armed forces personnel during the Third Reich period. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps. This is a nice privately purchased Officer's example. Complete with celluloid sweat-diamond ('Raute'), maker marked by the company of 'H. Künisch' from Lückenwalde being a rarely seen manufacturer. The cap has no visible size markings, the size is approximately 57cms. The Visor cap is piped in the red 'Truppenfarbe' (branch-colour) for Artillery personnel. The leather sweatband is in very good condition. The cap is complete with its officer's type nicely hand-embroidered cocarde and aluminum cap-eagle. The cap shows only minor traces of usage and age, see photos, the cap has a great shape. This cap would look great in an Artillery or Sturmgeschütz display. Stunning original visor cap in very good condition!
