Kurt Triebel Heer Artillerie EM / NCO Schirmmutze 1939

[Combat Boots]

Hi Guys,

Recently I have added this very nice Kurt Triebel contract visor to my collection. You may have seen it before on the forum but since it is new to me I wanted to make some nice photos ( way more than I needed but was having fun on a sunny day) and post them for your perusal.
Please let me know your thoughts and any background information you could share. Enjoy! Bob

It looks like it has seen minor use but in very good condition!
Congrats!
Ralph.

Thanks Ralph, I had wondered why the chin strap seems to have more wear than the rest of the cap but that may just have been the case. Bob

[rbminis]

It would appear that the chin strap has been on another cap for some time, or, it has not been on a cap at all and was put on this one. You can see other positions where the buckles have sat for a while.

Yes, I guess you can never tell for sure about the chin straps.

While I have your attention Ralph, do you know what the word is above the makers name? Thanks, Bob

[Combat Boots]

I figured it out Ralph. The word Lieferant means Supplier! That makes sense. Thanks, Bob

Terrific example--contract caps are very hard to find in this condition.
Triebel also made nice private-purchase visors under the name "Kutrika".

Thanks for the complement, means a lot to hear it from you! Regards, Bob
