Luftwaffen Schirmmütze für Mannschaften und Unterführer der Flakartillerie - Georg A. Hoffmann of Berlin 1937. The visor is constructed of blue/grey wool with a horizontally ribbed and interwoven black mohair center-band and red (Flak) identifying waffenfarbe piping. All of the wool is in excellent condition. It has the correct silvered aluminum wreath and black and red painted winged cockade below the correct silvered aluminum 1st pattern Luftwaffe eagle insignia. The black leather chinstrap is in excellent condition, secured with two black enameled buttons. The black/green lacquered vulcanfiber visor peek looks good, some of the edge reinforcement piece has broken off and there is one tape piece to the underside. The interior is lined in a light brown-red cotton material. The brown leather sweat-band looks decent with typical tears. The underside of the sweat band is unit marked: “I./Flak R.25.”. The top celluloid sweat diamond is 97% intact. It is maker marked, in gold foil: “Die Deutsche Qualitätsmütze”, “Fabrik- Marke G.A.H.” and “G. A. Hoffmann Berlin S.W. 29 Gneisenaustr. 33”. It is also stamped, in black ink: “1937” (extremely faint). It is a 56 size. The stiffener is broken to the front interior of the cap. Previously sold by Bill Shea in September 2022. A nice early cap!
