Feuerwehr Schirmmütze - Gottlob Kurz Wiesbaden-Igstadt

[MAP]

Last pick up of the weekend.

Just a basic NCO Feuerwehr Schirmmutze.

Overall in fine shape excepts for a few moth nips and some wear to the piping.

Nice early two piece eagle/wreath.

Maker is Gottlob Kurz from Wiesbaden-Igstadt. I think they are still in business providing medical supplies.

Any and all comments welcome.

Nice one. As you are aware, Kurz was an effekten distributor, and not a maker.

I like the early chinstrap as well--it comports with the M-34 eagle.....

No was not aware they were the distributor. Assumed they were the maker. Yes, the chinstrap is really nice. Do you know when they stopped using this eagle?

Too bad about the nips, but otherwise its a nice one.

The new eagle was instituted in 1936.

Thanks. So now I have good idea of its production.
