This hat is a great representation of the perfection that the manufacturer Erel is known for. This high peaked hat has the beautiful soft doe skin wool construction on the upper portion of the visor and the center dark green wool band surrounded by vibrant carmine piping and is void of any moth nips or grazing. An aluminum eagle and wreath surround the cockade which has the proper internal setup for the vented cockade. The bill of the visor has slight crazing but fully intact with no chipping. Chin cords and silver buttons in excellent condition The interior is in excellent condition with the golden silk lining. Sweat shield is fully intact with the Erel logo "Offizier Kleiderklasse Berlin" and the "Ges Gesh EREL SONDERKLASSE". In addition, the tear out paper label is fully intact and sewn in. This makes this visor a highly prized and sought after "Triple Erel" in this configuration. Soft leather sweatband shows minimal wear with a only a slight tear in the front of sweatband (most likely done by pulling back for "under the hood" shots) - sweatband is marked in clear lettering "Erel "Stirnschutz" with the approval marls of "DRGM, DRP angem", size 56. Overall, this visor is in immaculate condition.
