    Schirm KM NCO

    Salut ,

    What do you think of this Kriegmarine visor cap ?

    Excempt the black buttons of the chin-strap I can not see anything wrong but I have a strange gut feeling about it .



















    Many thanks for your help.
    I am sitting on the fence on this one ...

    Re-

    To resume my opinion on this cap :


    Good points :

    - the celluloid sweat diamond,
    - the mohair band,
    - the position of the mohair band,
    - the cocarde that looks original,
    - the visor and the trim around it,
    - the chin-strap ,
    - the blue lining,



    Bad points :

    - Chin-Straps buttons . Have you ever seen black ones ?



    "I am not sure" points :

    - the stiching of the leather sweat band,
    - the ventilation grommets - my big & main interrogation mark !!


    I have seen some on good Polizei visors but there were bigger with a little mesh. I dont know about those.

    Is it possible de find such ventilation grommets on a KM peaked-cap ?
    Or is it a clear sign that the cap is post-war made ?




    I can not make up my mind about that one ...
    Maybe you guys see something I dont ?
    So many thanks for your opinions.

      Hello Yves

      I would pass for this one

      I think it is a cap for the "marine du commerce", never seen grommets on a genuine WW2 Kriegsmarine visor cap !!!...

        Hi Yves, sorry but I agree with the above comment, no grommets on KM caps. Not a WW2 Km cap for sure.

            This may actually be a wartime cap, but it certainly is not standard for a KM (grommets, no piping above and below band, chinstrap, other points mentioned). It MAY be water police or some other entity connected with waterway services, but I don't think it's KM.

              I have not a good feeling with this visor cap
              I don't like body, grommets, chinstrap...

                I am not a fan of those grommets either -- it may be a period piece, but I doubt it is Kriegsmarine. If it is, it would be a very nonstandard variant I have never seen.
