question about 'offizier kleiderkasse berlin' cap by erel

[vonbrugge]

good evening

I have a question about this erel visor. I believe this is a fine quality Original example, if i'm wrong on that please correct me. The thing on my mind has to do with the sweatshield. Al other erel caps I have seen so far (also the offizier kleiderkasse) have some available space underneath the sweatshield to put on a name tag. (as seen in the additional picture). My cap doesn't have that. Has this been seen before? It would be nice to see some simular examples.

kind regards to all of you

Yes, there were such examples, see here:

or here:

I were just about to edit my post because I wanted to add 'apart from luftwaffe caps'. It is indeed seen on regular base on lufties. thank you for the links anyway. The late war erel caps did have the same kind of sweatshield but I wonder if there are also prewar examples with such characteristics...

You are right, I was not aware of this, it is primarily LW caps that display this feature. There is, however, one WH-cap here (post # 24):

And Ulric of England has two (look llike pre-war ones):
GERMAN HEADGEAR | WW2 PEAK VISOR CAPS | EREL

IDEAL EREL | GERMAN MILITARIA

Here some matching pictures of a luftwaffe cap... I really feel like my visor has more in common with the luftwaffe than with the WH, based on the diamond and colour of the lining (lighter)
