K012963 BUNDESMARINE COMPANY GRADE OFFICER'S VISOR CAP. The 1950's Bundesmarine visor caps where pretty much identical to their Third Reich counterparts. Nice quality, dark navy blue, doeskin wool construction cap with a black, horizontally ribbed, mohair centerband and a non-removable top. The top crown edge and both the top and bottom edges of the centerband are piped in the same, dark, navy blue doeskin wool as the balance of the cap. The cap has a black, patent leather chinstrap with a sliding, leather, length adjustment loop and a black painted, magnetic sheet metal snap retainer intact. The chinstrap is secured to the cap by two, small, fire gilted, sheet metal buttons. The chinstrap retaining buttons have a horizontally ribbed, background fields with an embossed, fouled, anchor and a simulated, twisted, rope outer edge. The cap has an extended, forward, black fibre visor with a navy blue wool top covering to the top edge with a single row of scalloped edged, hand embroidery in gilt wire threads and simulated, black leather trim both positioned near the forward edge. The embroidery on the visor signifies that the owner was a Company Grade Officer holding a rank of Leutnant zur See, Oberleutnant zur See or Kapitänleutnant. The interior of the cap is fully lined in ribbed, mid-blue cloth. The interior of the cap also has a 40mm grey leather sweatband. The cap has no visible size or manufacturer’s markings. The cap is in overall very good condition and retains almost all of its original nap with light age and usage toning. The cap is roughly size 60. Cap is missing its insignia. Hard cap to find these days as most where converted to WW2 examples by dishonest dealers in the 1960 and 70's trying to pass them off as original Third Reich examples.
