re: An unusual Heer Artillery officers Schirmmütze
Hi Tony, It is obviously a good EREL and I tend to agree with your theory of it's being re piped. A good friend of mine has several hundred visors in his collection and I've been fortunate enough to have seen and handled some very unusual and unique visors. Textbook is always nice but there are valid exceptions.
Thank you for showing this wonderful example!

I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more discussion regarding this visor...

A lot of schiffchens gave up their soutache so that cap could be re-piped. I like it!

Very interesting and thanks for sharing. I have a lot to learn in these areas of collecting and this is very informative. The list of things to learn seems endless and Im thankful to pick up on any information I can!
Cheers, Edwin

I do not have any problem with it, and have seen similar examples before. The officer was either transferred from (or washed out of) Generalstab and placed into an Artillerie unit. A lot cheaper than buying a new Erel.

This is one of the reasons I love this forum. Great thread. End of war thrift.

I did not see any problems if that is a period tampered item. Even that is not a repainted piping as usual, and in any case the soutache is a valuable item too, and many peoples look for it just for upgrading their caps.

I recognise this cap from page 72 of 'German Army Visor Caps 1871-1945'! Correct Tony?
