HG-60 Luftwaffe Other Ranks Schirmmütze (Visor
Cap) for Flight/Paratrooper Personnel by Albert Kempf
This example is produced in a Luftwaffe blue-grey trikot wool
exterior with some minor discoloration throughout and three nips (the largest
the size of a worn eraser and I have photographed this). The top panel is very
slightly oval with a subtle peak – a very nice visual appearance! The yellow
piping for Flight/Paratrooper personnel is excellent with just minor
discoloration; the ribbed mohair black cap band checks out just fine! The metal
insignia is silver finished aluminum alloy, there is slight discoloration to
these but they still show great detail. Interestingly, the swastika is canted
slightly forward ahead of the adler. The Other Ranks chinstrap is relatively
matte with no real gloss remaining, and the Vulkanfiber visor has moderate
crazing and fading, though both are otherwise in fine shape. The cap interior is
near excellent with only slight discoloration from use. It has the standard
green visor underside and tan sweatband. The top lining is a tangerine colored
chintz oilcloth fabric, which is excellent. The rhomboid shaped clear moisture
shield is manufacturer marked “Lieferant (supplier) Albert Kempf Ronsdorf”.
Also stamped into the moisture shield is the size (56) and the year of
production (1939). A sound plus example of an Other Ranks
Flight/Paratrooper visor!
