Germany, Third Reich. A Postal Service (Postschutz) EM/NCO Visor Cap

(Reichspost Einheitsmütze). A Reichspost EM/NCO’s visor cap, constructed of a smooth dark blue wool with a black doeskin cap band. Dual bands of bright orange Waffenfarbe piping trim the band at the top and bottom. The front peak is pinned with a silvered aluminum German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 56 mm (w) x 36 mm (l). The cap band bears a central wreathed tri-colour cockade constructed of cupal, aluminum, and a red felt centerpeice. The cap is flanked on each side by black magnetic metal buttons securing a black leather chinstrap with two adjustable black magnetic metal buckles and accompanying loops (torn, separated towards the left side). The vulcanfibre visor is painted black on the obverse and light brown on the reverse. The interior has a 45 mm-wide brown leather sweatband securely stitched into position. There is a partial brown rayon-blended interior liner, into which is stitched a machine-woven reinforcement holding up the peak of the cap. The insignia is period-mismatched with evidence that the cap was previously modified on the interior, in overall near very fine condition.
