here's an unusually nice heer infantrie em visor, stamped under the leather sw'band with the CW marks & 1938 and on the other side the distributor's marks from 1939. nice officer quality trikot. too bad the diamond has nearly gone but otherwise choice. almost zero cracking on visor and all paint's still on the c-strap buckles. enjoy!

Re: Clemens wagner prewar inf heer visor
Clemens Wagner caps of this era have flimsy sweat diamonds. A tiny fact about the III. Reich that would have made someone at the time guffaw in disbelief. At the risk of being a total bore, I recall these caps at the gun shows of my youth in unissued condition in a rainbow of Waffenfarben for USD25. Thank you for the image. You can also see there the Muetzensteg, that is the front piece in the crown that elevates the cap cover horizontally, fits with the piping and the Muetzendraht, the cap spring. A pleasing, small detail that one never sees well executed in fakes. Also, notice the regular appearance of the crown piping on the cap cover, as if drawn by a draftsman on a piece of paper with a straight edge. Far more craft and skill resides in this picayune detail than we mortals can divine.

Re: Clemens wagner prewar inf heer visor
The firm advertised that it made several hundred caps a day.
Army Tellermuetzen were made by many firms, among which Clemens Wagner is surely an outstanding one. It was a major force in the no. German headwear trade.
I have seen several Clemens Wagner army Tellermuetzen in my four decades of peering and at such marks and stamps. I sold one in the last decade, I think. Many photos I have of former property died with the flimsy computers which have none of the poetry of the CW flimsy sweat diamond.

Re: Clemens wagner prewar inf heer visor
thanks for yours, fb. god those black things are a bit tasty aren't they - esp. in that condition. man alive!
hey I just noticed something on mine: two vertical indents on the c'strap that look as tho the buckles rested there for a while. but that can't be - can it -? since the 'strap is perfectly sized as it is.
anyone have ideas what caused these furrows? it definitely isn't the patent leather bubbling you often see....

Re: Clemens wagner prewar inf heer visor
One often sees this sort of thing in the patent leather, as well. I am never sure why. These things always contain riddles in enigmas.
Happy headwear.
I cannot find the image of the missing sweat diamond in the Wagner enlisted SS cap. Sorry.
