Visor - Purple Piping

[wolfslair44]

Thanks

Agree with the others above: one look medical

Gents - Thanks so much for all your responses. I'm going to try and take some more photos and post them. The colour of the piping definitely seems more violet than blue, but admittedly my eyes aren't the best. Will hopefully have some more and then we can find out it's true identity. Thanks again. Scott

Faded medical - slam dunk.

I understand should be the right color for wear by clergy

BEAUTIFUL!!

Mike hits the nail on the head. Look at the RED in the voilet of this cap. The one posted before has more of a blue hue to the purple.

REMEMBER NOW AND FOR ALL TIME -- purple is NOT chaplain or associated with the clergy.

(regrets ever selling his collection)

Mike,

Not only the correct color...but sporting a very nice original, unusual style chaplains cross. Outstanding example!

more pics

As requested, took more pics underneath, and it does appear 'more blue' than purple to me. So looks like a salty medical. Everyone agree?

I don't think there was ever any doubt that it was medical.

M--are you referring to this hat?:

M--are you referring to this hat?:

Yes Chris

Same maker and only the second I saw. A rare producer from a city that today belongs to Russia and is called Kaliningrad. It makes me quite impressed to think that many of the people mentioned in that adressbuch did not exist after a few years. This is the trend of the population of Königsberg in Preußen at the beginning and at the end of the war:

1939: 372,000 inhabitants
1945: 73,000 inhabitants

It seems to me that the effects of the madness called war are commented on their own ...

Best regards
