At the urging of my esteemed college Stonemint I figured I would start a thread on Schellenberg’s. Schellenberg is kind of a complicated cap maker. First they went through a lot of changes with their sweatbands, logos, construction. Not to mention that they also sold visors through distributors. I do believe by production numbers Schellenberg was the second biggest producer of visors next to Erel. One good thing about Schellenberg’s, you can always tell by construction they are a Schellenberg.
I will post this one first. I just picked this one up from Gerard. This is an earlier Schellenberg with the double DRGM Stirndruckfrei markings. Once on the shield and once on the sweatband. The Stirndruckfrei patent for Schellenberg originally came in the form of the orange type sponge. He then also started to use the white cotton material in his visors like the one in this cap. This is a 100% pure textbook early Schellenberg.
One more thing to note is that on all earlier visors Schellenberg used a hardened wicker type material with a metal stiffener inside for a peak stiffener.

--that was a hidden gem!
