excellent condition rare large size third reich ww2 heer infantry officer's visor cap by litto.mutz wien

This original and excellent condition Heer cap is a rare large size 59 in typical army green wool with a 43 mm wide forest green band and a traditional high peak with matching white piping along the top edge and flanking either side of the band, indicating the branch to be Infantry.

It is decorated with a well-detailed silvered aluminium eagle insignia on the peak and an open-ended silvered aluminium wreath surrounding a tri-colour cockade on the band. The visor has a smooth black leather-look upper and is free of crazing, with a silver bullion cord resting upon it, in two rows, knotted in the appropriate-style on the sides and held in position via pebbled gilt posts on both sides.The underside of the visor is synthetic and finished in butterscotch and has an important thumb print associated with a right-handed person raising the cap over a good period of time.The brown leather sweatband is perforated along the front edge with five tiny rows of ventilation holes and although fully intact has some good usage wear.The inside of the cap is lined in blue and again with some usage wear and no damage. The dome brandishes a diamond-shaped celluloid moisture shield stitched in the dome, embossed with a maker mark ‘Litto.Mutz WIEN Sonderklasse'. The cap is a very large size 59 and overall measures 250 mm x 270 mm x 160 mm in height, exhibiting very little discolouration and no mothing whatsoever and no silvering wear on the peak eagle and cockade.We have never handled an original used German cap in such good condition.Unit12 Militaria ships worldwide with secure packing at reasonable rates.
