Re: Generals Tunic, Visor and Mantel!
The schirmutze is not that of a general officer as it would have a gold wreath and gold piping. The red backed eagle is something I have never seen before. It certainly would not have been mounted on a visor cap. Depending on when the cap was made, the eagle could be either silver or gold.
Is either the tunic or the mantel named?

Unfortunately none are named..I looked through all the pockets too, but only found the boards and adler and buttons...the adler may not even be for the cap, as the thread on the cap is green .I dont know though. Im not even sure if this cap came with the uniform originally,maybe added later by my Uncle.He's kinda old so I dont know if he remembers. Possibly this cap was converted by someone at some point?

He bought the tunic and mantel from the son of the dry cleaners owner.
