HG-8  Handsome Private Purchase Army Officer Visor Cap for Signals Personnel by R. Fiege
This quality example is produced in a soft doeskin wool which is very clean. There is minor tracking seen on the top panel only, otherwise the condition is excellent. The peak is very prominent, standing tall giving this a quite dashing look! This is enhanced by the lemon yellow piping for Signals personnel. There is a dark green badge cloth centerband that is excellent. The insignia consists of a silvered aluminum eagle, wreath and cockade that has a red felt bull’s eye. There is little to no wear to the insignia, just slight discoloration to the eagle is seen. A handsome Officer silver bullion double chincord is in place, tightly affixed to the cap by a pair of silver pebbled metal buttons. The black vulkanfibre visor is quite shiny still, with just minor edge wear. The underside of the visor is crosshatched and finished in an interesting grey hue. The interior is fully lined in a gold rayon that is very clean! There is a clear, rhomboid shaped moisture shield containing the information of the maker. This cap was produced by “R.
