Where is the lower strip of piping on the cap?

[Niederlande]

Insignia are both good, but I am not a fan of the visor itself. And also the eagle is a replacement imho, it looks like it had an eagle before, placed higher.

Also the lack of bottom piping gives me concerns

Visor hat

It would appear, if you close at the bottom piece of piping were it meets the black felt it looks as though there is a green under lay. The black velvet band is just covering the dark green band. Maybe a Army Visor? Dave.

This is the discription from the seller:


Waffen SS officer's visor hat converted from army infantry officer's. This hat exemplifies the attrition that the Waffen SS was subjected to. As the officer ranks were depleted, "volunteers" were added from the other branches of the Wehrmacht. This hat began as an army infantry officer's visor and it is apparent that the officer who wore this visor ended his service in the Waffen SS. The hat is constructed of gray doeskin upper body with infantry white piping. The green felt capband is readily observable under the black velvet officer's band that was added once the officer entered the Waffen SS along with the SS eagle and totenkopf. The interior features a August Schellenberg rhomboid sweat diamond and a complete gray leather sweatband. The visor shows normal and steady period use. This hat was purchased at a Chicago area hotel buy. Complete provenance will be provided to the purchaser.
