Hello to all ...
This visorcap belonged to an enlisted man or a non commissioned officier of the SS.
Maker N° 195 ( Heinrich WILLE ).
ZIMMERMAN eagle & DECHLER Totenkopf.
On the inside, there is a couple of stamps on which we can read 1310 ( item N° ) and “NárodnÃ* divadlo†meaning this cap was used as an accessory from the National Prague Theatre in Czech Republic !
Here is the link : Narodni divadlo
This cap probably exited eastern Europe at the fall of the Iron Curtain from 1990 ...
Funny to imagine actors playing Nazis on stage with that cap on … Did they know for a second that they wore a genuine SS Visorcap ?
Given the allergical reaction of the Nazi Party for culture, I love the idea this cap was stored for decades on the such an anti-Nazi place !!! The owner must have drilled a tunnel after years of spinning in his grave, haha !
A piece of history ! Enjoy !
K.
