For those of us not familiar with the Kleiderklasse system:

I quote.."Waffen-SS officers bought their uniforms from an allowance they were paid, either from a tailor or through the Kleiderklasse system where the officer paid a monthly amount and could draw supplies from a series of Kleiderklasse outlets. They would have had several tunics, a tailor-made one for best and probably a lesser quality or even an issue one for in the field." ..unquote


Nice cap indeed

Wonderful Francesco and nice to see you here.

I've owned a couple of these and they really were a purpose built cheap affordable product. Very average quality and workmanship. Ironic how adding 70 years of age has turned that right on it's head.

I know nothing about SS visor caps or visor caps in general but I know a pretty cap when I see one. That is a superb example and a 'one looker' as they say. It simply looks great from every angle and has a wonderful shape. Your photography does it justice too.
