Luftwaffe Luftwaffe Air Traffic Control visor cap

[Bob Lyons]

Here I go again, just landed this one, it gives me much better vibes than the black piped

cap, so here she is for comments, first up, an overall view of the cap....

Another view of the maker (Albert Kempf of Ronsdorf or Alkero) 1939.

Photos were taken using a flash, I have been on shifts, and haven't been able

to take any photos in daylight (yet).

Close up of the early eagle...

And another view of the cap. (and then the batteries died), so that is all I have managed to take

so far, will do some in better light when I get the chance.

Very beautiful and rare cap. I think that the rarity is only second to Administrative!

Jeez Bob - another stunner! I don't know how you do it. A bit off topic, but have you ever known an early droop-tail eagle (like on the hat you've posted here and elsewhere) to have flat rather than round attachment prongs?

Thanks for the comments Paul and Scott, I thought maybe the black piped bad boy had scared scared any comments off!

Yes I am very happy with this one, I have only ever seen a couple of them for sale over the years, and this is a beauty.

I really admire what Gene has done with his collection, and he has inspired me to try and get a reasonable set of

Luftwaffe visors together. (I think I will leave the uniforms to Gene, Scott and Paul ).

Regarding the prongs Scott, I have only encountered the round type, Gene (or Jos) would be the guys who would be

better qualified to answer that one, I wouldn't be surprised if they exist.

I am currently at work doing a day overtime, and my wife has to go to the Post Office to pick up a parcel with another

Luftwaffe visor cap in it, how does rose-pink piping sound, I am looking forward to getting home and getting into that

box, will do some photos of that one over the weekend and see what the boys say about it.... and I hate waiting, only

4 hours left before I can get at it.....

Hi Bob !

Very nice NCO Visor Cap .

First lately I have started ot get interested in Visors .

But I think this is the first LW Visor I have seen with this colour on piping .

Thanks very much Jan Arne, it is kinda addictive though! This is the first light green piped visor

that I have physically seen in the flesh, I don't think there would be too many here in Australia.

(I am still at work for another 20 minutes, so am almost there for my new parcel....)

It's out of the box, will post a new thread with some photos.
