Hi Migobeego,
very pleasant shape with a peak with an unusual black underneath.
Do you intend to do any restoration on the cap (resew sweatband/peak?)

Hi Migobeego,

Hi! No, the cap is as I got it from the seller. Do you see something suspicious?
-
Nice hat. The maker is Alfret Valet, who utilized the Pekuro stirndruckfrei system under license.
Unfortunately, the velvet separates from the body of the cap over time, which is what Erwesa is talking about.

Thanks! I did notice that while browsing other caps in the forum and Pat Moran's reference book. It's always good to come across variations!

According to the November 27, 1935 regulation (L.DV.422) the underside of the visor
had to be black (either from leather or fibre). The one from fibre should be covered with
artificial leather (schwarz genarbtem Kunstleder).
With the L.DV 422 from April 1, 1937 the underside had to be green with a checkered motiv
(Grünlackiert gebrannt).

Thank you, Wim! What would this forum be without your encelopedic knowledge? Didn't know this early regulation.

The airforce cap was not in Hempe, as this book was published
earlier then the L.Dv. 422. The cap in fact was a look-a-like for
the version as used by the Deutsche Lutfahrt and Deutscher
Luftsport-Verband, but of course adapted to the standards
"nach der Enttarnung" and given the piping colors (order I. Dv.
Nr. 30573/35 from March 1, 1935).

I agree with the Wim on the regulations.
However, there were many makers who ignored them, and it is common to find LW caps made after 1937 with black undersides to the visor.
