NSDAP Caps With Hand Embroidered Insignia

I though it would be interesting to view examples of the political leader schirmutze with the seldom found hand embroidered wreath. I am hoping some members can contribute to this thread.
I will start out with a Kreisleitung level example.

An example of a Gauleitung cap. As with the Kreisleitung cap, there is no makers logo under the sweatshield indicating this cap was procured through official NSDAP clothing sources.

A named Gauleitung level visor cap that belonged to Gaubereichsleiter Adolf Kunstmann. This is part of a gro

uping of material discussed several years ago. Here is a link:https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/non-c...grouping-1852/

My final contribution to this thread is this Reichsleitung level cap that belonged to Reichs Hauptbereichsleiter Dr. Richard Muller, a recipient of the Blood Order. The cap is missing it's RZM label. This cap is part of a complete uniform grouping I will post in the future.

Holy Moly
I have never been blessed by the cap gods to have such a nice example.

Nice idea for a reference thread, Bob. Studying the fine craftsmanship on these visors will surely help cap novices like me to stay clear of any cheap modern imitations. Though I can't contribute to this thread (yet) I will most definately enjoy studying those caps posted here. Please keep them coming.

Cheers, MB.
