Heer Officer visor cap?

Hi Don,

Thanks, I didn't even consider the Germans might have printed the I like our J, I took Kraeger's advice and checked the piping, it was definitely white before, so it has definitely been dyed.

The German "I" for Infanterie is written like a "J" . The German J has the bar all the way across the top of the J, while on the I it only goes to the center. That always confused me when I started out. This cap belonged (at some point, if the writing is wartime) to somebody from the first company of Infantry Regiment 21. (1/J.R. 21).

Dyed, yes, but when, now that is the question.

I would like to think it was dyed period as it seems to be a good colouring in job and the infantry regiment reference would be a bit of a giveaway, however any owner would have to believe the cap is period altered and that is always the big question that recoloured caps have..

The cap is a nice full on Pekuro, very sexxy...
