Mystery Schellenberg Visor

[NTZ]

It is a Soldatenbund cap of someone who has served in the infantry. These caps came with piping like their former arm of service.

The piping in not white, it is gray and the cap band is different. I already ruled that out although it crossed my mind.

This hat is still bugging me. The closest I can think of is Bahnschutz O/R--I take it there is no sign of a Bahnschutz wreath?

NTZ--can you post your own pic to show just how gray the piping is and how blue the top is?

[NTZ]

Here is the best I can do for now since it is dark outside. The piping is very light gray. Almost like a DRK piping.

Could it be Werkschutzpolizei (Factory protection police /guards). They wore both field grey and black uniforms. They had a black cap with a white looking piping??

Bahnschutz wore Blue cap, Black band and similar piping but not after 1938...

Good Web Site, I would be interested in your book also. Great subject

Well I hope I restored this beauty in its original configuration. The consensus is that it is a Bahnschutz em/nco. The cap was so nice and had such a saddle shape it just looked too much like an officer to put the em/nco strap on so I went with an officer’s candidate.
