Allgemeine SS Visor Cap

[Friedrich-Berthold]

This aside notwithstanding, these are Mueller caps, too.

Simply superb cap. This is the first original black general's cap I have seen, and probably the nicest I will ever see.

Thanks to you and your friend for sharing it with us!

Cheers, Pat

Dear Colleague, very well said. And, at the risk of being a total bore, the internet doubters and defamers who play an ever larger role on these sites harm the interest in such regalia by chasing away those with valuable material. That is, the hectoring, cat calling, flaming, and otherwise churlish behavior has the effect per saldo that we all suffer. Less knowledge grows; the wise and polite stay away; the sites grow deformed and useless.

Bob and I have seen it play out more than once.

The general's cap in the eastern US is a remarkable thing, all the more so granted the pyramid of fakes weighing down on us all on all the other sites in their number.

Es lebe August Mueller!

I repeat my intervention of four years ago.....

Friedrich could you post a few images of the same type of cap..but with silver cord? I have seen this only once being worn by a General by the name Heinrich von Maur. I know the white piping is more common than the thinner silver cord. I seen these photos coming from SS Sturmbannfuher Hugo Prechter photo collection and as Maurs adjutant. If there is a thread with the silver piping that I may have missed my apologies..but I would be curious to see one up close and in color than in the black and white photos. In Prechters photos it is noticeable that the cord is thinner and not as bright as the standard SS officers thicker white cord. Cordial Regards Larry

Such a senior leader cap in wear. Otto Dietrich, head of press in the party and state.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

By "cord" you refer to the Muetzenkordel or to the Paspel, i.e. the chin strap or the cap piping?

A colored photo in which the alu piping in Heini Himmler's cap glows in the spring sunshine of 1938 in Wien.

Thanks. I wish, but I do not. I have lots of the others, mind you, and you have seen many of them.
