Original German WWII Army Heer Artillery EM/NCO Schirmmütze Visor Crush Cap - Size 55 1/2 Bira Gun The fuze cap is intactOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic condition German WWII Heer Army Artillery EM NCO Schirmmtze Visor Cap, with a lovely "Crushed" shape. This "saddle form" shape is highly desirable, and later in the war caps were made without stiffeners, so they would have this shape from the start. The cap shows high quality fabrication, made with typical Heer army feldgrau (Field Gray) green gray "whipcord" wool with a forest green "badge coth"
