Any thoughts on this cap. I think the EREL logo is wartime. The green chin cord does have the metal supports in the knots. What rank of branch does the green chin cord signify?
WW2 German Zollgrenzschutz Visor Cap With Green Cord-EREL

Nice Erel (early logo) cap - seems to be without the air vent at the front. At first I was sceptical about the cords (and the silvery buttons), as I thought the lowest pay-grades had a leather chin strap, but obviously there were also these green cords, see here:

Looks good to me. And in fine shape. Nice example.

nice cap !
It is a good one. Isn't this in an upcoming auction?

It was in the March 24th auction. Buyer said it was a repro and didn't want it! I think it may be because hammer price was $600 (Which surprised me). I suppose he had a little buyer's remorse...
