Wehrmacht Infantry Visor Cap, Field-Altered in Alter Art Style
Wehrmacht Infantry Visor Cap, Field-Altered in Alter Art Style
Wehrmacht infantry visor cap, field-modified by the original owner in the pre-war "Alter Art" style. The visor has been replaced with a leather one, and a leather sweatband has been installed inside, typical of early private modifications. The cap is made from regulation field-grade wool with a felt cap band, which shows damage likely caused by insect activity or aging.
The front insignia is hand-embroidered in aluminum bullion. The eagle shows clear signs of oxidation and was most likely added postwar. The cockade is original to the cap, with the lower stitching undone due to prolonged use. The leather sweatband is hardened and brittle, prone to cracking. Approximate size is 59. This cap displays heavy field wear and is a notable example of personalized wartime modification.
