Product Overview and Introduction

Acquire an exceptional piece of World War II German military headgear with an Original WWII German Luftwaffe NCO Flight & Fallschirmjäger Visor Cap. As one of the most aesthetically distinct and recognizable caps of the Second World War, the Luftwaffe Schirmmütze (visor cap) was worn by non-commissioned officers serving in flying units, aircrew personnel, and elite paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger) formations.

Tailored from the characteristic Luftwaffe blue-gray tricot wool, this original NCO service cap features the classic golden-yellow or flight-branch piping (Waffenfarbe) outlining the crown and cap band, denoting the flying and paratrooper branch of service. Complete with a stiffened black vulcanized fiber visor, silver-gray officer/NCO chin cord, authentic pebbled metal side buttons, and stamped metal Luftwaffe eagle and cockade insignia, this cap is a quintessential centerpiece for WWII militaria collections.

• Blue-Gray Tricot Wool Body: Constructed from high-quality military-grade wool characteristic of mid-war German uniform regulations.

• Detailed Insignia Suite: Retains original metallic or bullion Luftwaffe eagle clutching the swastika, national cockade, and aluminum NCO tress bordering the cap band.
