There are multiple nips to the blue piping. This is a great looking example of a political leader’s visor cap for a leader in the ORT level of government, which means it is piped in blue. Remember there were four levels of the NSDAP Political government, similar to how we have things today in the states. There is the local level (towns and cities) which is called ORT, The KREIS or Kreisleitung level which is Districts or German counties. The GAU or Gauleitung which is the Regional level (German states and their provinces). REICH is the national government similar to our federal government level. The piping is a light blue color and some very slight moth damage to the piping at the front of the cap. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis cap has a beautiful saddle shape. It is produced in tricot woven wool which is very good, with very minor wear and slight moth tracking only. The brown velvet center band is damage free, as is the beautiful celleon officer’s chin cord. This has a handsome matte gold gilt finish on the eagle. This has a very nice tone, with the original finish being mostly intact. The finish on the stylized wreath has a nice matte gold tone that nicely matches the eagle.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe enameled cockade is in good condition, with minor wear only. The dark brown vuklanfibre visor shows scuffing to the edge. This has crosshatching on the underside. Despite the scuffing, this is in very good condition, and tightly affixed to the cap. The interior of this size \u003cspan style=\"color: #ee0000;\"\u003e56 \u003c\/span\u003ecap has a moisture shield, and a sweatband that is complete, though cracked in spots. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe sweatband is fragile, so be careful with it. We did not attempt to look under it for an RZM tag, as we did not want to damage it. A very good offering! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698065146162,"sku":"HG-103","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/9332\/files\/WW2_German_Visor_Cap_Orts_Political_0283.jpg?v=1788357241","url":"https:\/\/www.therupturedduck.com\/products\/german-wwii-orts-level-political-leader-s-visor-cap","provider":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
