Officer visor cap - J.Zettel - Hannover

[Pinky1978]

Hello, last week I asked your help to know your opinios about a Infatry Officer visor cap, but unfortunatelly the seller sold it,

Now, I found another officer visor cap but I have a doubt.

The maker is J.Zettel - Hannover, but I have checked 2 differents visor caps from the same maker, and the inside logo has a small difference, just in the point after the J. (2 last photos). The visor cap that I am interested, hasn´t this point after the J

Could you give me your opinions if is it original?
Thanks a lot.

Apart from the missing dot (don't know whether there are any period Zettel-caps without dot) there are two more things I noticed: the sweatshield is sewn in with straight stiches (in the originals zig-zag-stitches are used) and the bill/visor/peak + sweatband was reapplied. If you take a close look you can see the stiches (and those left out).

Dear ErWeSa, thanks a lot for your help. With your comments, I´ll not buy this visor cap, as you well say , there are some things in the cap that are not right. I want to be sure to buy an 100% original cap.

I´ll follow looking for another cap.

Thanks again.

I am on the fence with this one.
Zettel survived the war, and continued to make visors during the BRD.
West German Police forces used this same color combination for their NCO visors (most have vents).
Could be a late 1940's police visor, rebadges with TR insignia.

Dear Stonemint, also thanks for the information. It´s also good learn new things.

I am looking for another visor cap.

At some time given between 1960 and 1975 Zettel changed both his initials from J. (Josef) to H. (presumably a son) and the address from Nikolaistraße to Voßstraße. Couldn't find a later adressbook than 1975 so I can't determine when he ceased to exist.
