Green EREL Visor, what is it ?

[stonemint]

Here's one--this insignia will be hard to find, but I have seen them for sale before:

Heres mine that I have posted before. Metal eagle bullion cockade. My only erel by the way.

Pete...I am beginning to think I am not the only Civil Visor Cap afficionado on the forum--glad I am not alone!

Thanks for all the pics and the detailed explanations guys

I was not too much into those civil caps and learned something today.

Those officer visors look awefull, many thanks for sharing them.

Is the chincord on my cap for Landzoll ? All the forestry caps I have seen have the common silver cord ?

Many thanks for your input.

Definitely an early Staatsforstdienst cap; as an early cap, it would have had a kokarde (not a laubkranz until 1938) and a goldgelb Hoheitsadler der Partei.

Here's a photo of the one I had - I never did find the correct eagle... and the chin cord on my one was incorrect.

And yes, exactly the same maker and distributor mark...

PS, you asked about the chin cord - the early cap would have had either gold grundurchwirkt oder grun golddurchwirkt Golddraht und Kunstseide.
