Germany, Kriegsmarine. A Pair of Visor Cap Covers

(Kriegsmarine Wendebezüge - Weiss und Dunkelblau). A pair of Kriegsmarine visor cap covers, including:

1. One for a standard issue cap, constructed of dark blue wool, the peak stitched with an insignia in the form of a dark blue wool backer bearing a hand-embroidered gold bullion wire eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 70 mm (w) x 35 mm (h), the edge reinforced with a layer of black rayon, clipped with a period paper label bearing a handwritten number “58” (presumably a size mark), otherwise unmarked, measuring 28 cm in diameter when folded on a flat surface, demonstrating one small patch of mothing and some age-related tarnishing to the wire of the eagle, an unissued example in extremely fine condition.

2. One for a white summer cap, constructed of white cotton/rayon blended cloth, the edge reinforced with a layer of white rayon, unmarked, measuring 28 cm in diameter when folded on a flat surface, demonstrating minor soiling throughout, in extremely fine condition.
