Spring Auction (Closed #255144)

High quality Army Artillery Officer's visor cap by August Schellenberg. The cap is constructed of a lighter field grey smooth-napped wool with bright red wool piping. Hand embroidered bullion wreath with metal cockade and metal eagle. The eagle is not centered on the vertical seam, but has been in this position for a long time, judging by the unfaded cloth area under the eagle. Interior is lined with imitation silk with Schellenberg 3rd style logo under the celluloid sweat shield. Perforated style sweatband with 'Stirndruckfrei' DRGM information impressed. There is an insect hole to the right side of the top and a small area of the piping directly opposite as can be seen in the images. The cap shows normal use and age.
