Germany, Third Reich. A National Socialist Reich Warriors Association Kyffhäuser Visor Cap

(NS-Reichskriegerbund Kyffhäuser Schirmmütze). An unusual NS-Reichskriegerbund (National Socialist Reich Warriors League/NSRKB) visor cap, constructed of dark navy blue wool. It features reinforced side walls fully lined on the exterior with a black rayon cap band which features alternating Kyffhäuserbund insignia and mobile swastikas. The crown is trimmed with a band of identical dark navy blue wool piping. Pinned onto the peak is an aluminum insignia consisting of an NSRKB-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 65 mm (w) x 25 mm (h). Pinned onto the centre of the cap band directly below the eagle is an additional insignia, consisting of an aluminum oak leaf wreath surrounding a tri-colour cockade with a red wool centrepiece, measuring 65 mm (w) x 45 mm (h) overall. The cap band is flanked by blackened magnetic metal domed rivets which secures in place a black leatherette chinstrap, which is itself adjusted with two functional magnetic metal buckles. Notably, two additional silvered and pebbled magnetic metal buttons have been added to the cap just above the blackened rivets, accommodating a silver aluminum wire chinstrap which is adjusted with dual sliding knots (possibly indicating a Leader upgrade). A protruding black vulcanfibre visor completes the exterior features. The interior is fully encompassed by a beige rayon liner, while the crown retains an intact transparent plastic moisture guard inset with a hollow channel for the insertion of a nametag, and which bears an intact NSRKB insignia. The side walls are surrounded by an intact brown leather sweatband. The cap measures approximately 24 cm (w) x 27 cm (l) x 14.5 cm (h). Minor material fatigue consistent with age and wear is evident, while the buttons accommodating the wire chinstrap have pierced the sweatband. A superb example in near extremely fine condition.
