15THPACAV Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Nothing especially rare, but I would like to share my LW yellow piped visor cap, for flight or paratroop personnel. It's early version, with the tellermutze, rather than saddle shape, with a early, droop tail eagle. Not the more common ribbed wool blend twill, but a heavier wool blend fabric, and a somewhat scarce all leather peak. The good photos were taken by a friend of mine; much better than my shabby photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think that both the photos and visor itself are great! Are there any unit markings under the sweat band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopp 9 ( mit umlaut) and underneath H.KP II I assume FL is Flieger Gruppe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Very nice.So, the owner was based at Fliegergruppe Göppingen... either temporarily at the Fliegerschule or with one of the permanent units based at Göppingen.A little research should turn up some info on the H.KP II designation.
