    I'd be interested in knowing what unit this is attributed to
    My understanding was the black with red piping indicates Artillery.

    Per my cross-town friend:

    "This is a real rarity. An officer visor made for DSWA (blue piping) and stamped “K (Colonial Amt) 1914. Has a thin leather visor and is virtually mint condition. The German colonies of Afrika blockaded in 1914, so supplies from Germany could not reach the territories. This visor must have stayed in Germany during W.W.I

    Heavy varnished buckram with two types of sewing thread. One standard thickness, the other four times thicker for the front support and buckram reinforcement. Not a moth bite – go figure."
    Isnt this the hat that keeps coming up on different auction sites ( ie Bene Morentu) as an original Dswa visor but was considered by ithers to be a pretty good repro?
