Luftwaffe FLAK visor

[NickG]

My latest visor acquisition a Luftwaffe FLAK visor obtained from a fellow WAF member
I already had this farbe but in an earlier teller form with wool, now in war time saddle shape executed in officers quality gabardine wool
The visor bill is a Heer style with no edge material.

[NickG]

The leather sweatband has issues...a (period?) repair- replacement piece and underneath that its been padded with a blank
LW FLAK weather report form (folded) which is kind of cool

[NickG]

I decided to put the form in a frame for display but if I ever sell the hat, I'll certainly stick it back under the leather band!
The two should not be seperated!
+ comparison shot with regular wool...

[NickG]

Some other farbes that I've collected over the years...no HG white yet unfortunately...
The officer one is well crushed a salty example....

My new FLAK one with an earlier FLAK model

Nick, I like your new acquisition. A mate here had one in the same material and it really stands out next to a standard type.

Regards, Mike.

Nice late war Schellenburg. My favorite is the 50 mishion crusher type. J

Lovely!

A lovely looking cap. I do like the saddle shape myself, also always love the red on blue of the Flak branch!

Beautiful cap, Nick. Love the gabardine.

Hi Nick,
Wonderful late war Schellenburg flak visor cap! I just love Schellenburg made caps.
Thanks for sharing,

That truly is an interesting cap - hadn't seen a Schellenberg like that before. Any others around?

Nice cap !
The visor is not a WH type one but a thin cardboard one for the LW soft cap pattern ?
I already saw that type of visor on LW caps but also on soft Polizei cap .
Green in the back is a lot more typical for the LW than for the WH actually ?
But some WH caps were also observed ...

Yes that is true....
Just a late war variation bill I suppose.

Nice same maker cap Jack!

I have an HG Schellenberg with the same 1-piece heer visor and same trikot.

Nick, nice score, btw!
