    It pays to go back and look at the old references now and then. This is the only pic I know of one of these in wear:

    Seems like Halfar scored the contract for these.

    BTW, if anyone has one with the green band/piping, please post here:

    Here is a pic of one of these hats being brought back home after having been liberated. Note the "tlc" these hats received even back then!:

    I have never seen or heard of any of this, it's a first for me. This cap is a good example of how truly nationalistic Nazi Germany was; even the lift operators were given visors!

    Ah, the Liftwaffe, they had their ups and downs. Nice find, really obscure stuff.

    The cap colors would indicate fire protection.
