Heeres Administration Alter Art visorhat

[Dimas]

Here I got interesting restoring object. The Heeres Administration in Kriegsdauer hat, unfortunately it missed original sweatband ( it is included but removed, due the bad rotten stitchings) The visor is also with rough thread applyed, but it's looks like a postwar redone. This is a interesting- the hat has no bottom piping
Due there is a lot of holes on the insignia places, I think the better way to restore it with hand embroidered/cloth insignia. Shame this nice mid war hat is stripped.
Thoughts about insignia to restore?

Dimas, I would lean more to the hat being a Customs (Zollbeamte) visor.

I would say that the cap is also a service cap rather than an alter alt as the peak is a fibre one. Also the eagle silhouette seems very large...perhaps a political one was previously in situ ? just a thought.

Nice restoration project though.

cheers

That is possible, thank you for advice.

nice cap...the black visor seems to be different and stitched post war

Surely, I've told about the visor, even the thread is synthetic

This cap is pre Third Reich. I did some research on caps without the bottom ring of piping because this one was on ebay and described as being a Coastal Artillery Alter Art Feldmuetze which it is not. I forget now the exact era of these caps but I think it's Weimar.
