"Panzer" Enlisted Visor Caps

**TWS** · 10-07-2019, 03:26 AM

Pulled these out tonight too. 2 early issue grade caps, 1 from a little later, and a private purchase example.

The early cap on the left has the spring removed and it sits a little funky. The peak doesn't stand up. However, it is unit stamped to Panzer Regiment 5.
The later issue grade cap is unit marked to a motorized Pionier platoon. Probably the organic engineer platoon in a pink waffenfarb'd Schützen Regiment.

Really enjoy panzer Waffenfarbe . That private purchase is beautiful. Nice to show the difference between the old tellerform vs the new saddleform

A very nice selection Todd!

My favorite color of Waffenfarbe.

I am partial to the doeskin examples, more so than the tricot ones though.

Thank-you gents. Yes, I thought it would be interesting to place the Private Purchase doeskin with the distinct Saddle Form next to the issued tricot examples. Thus the side shot too, for comparison.
Interestingly enough, I bought that private maker cap with an issue Waffenrock to 6. Schützen Regiment 1, but there's not provenance to prove they belonged to the same man. I was at a show in Germany in 1993 and they were being sold together.
Fast forward to last year's MAX show and my friend Waffenreich (Bob) had a belt on his table marked to the exact same unit: 6. Kompanie SR 1. Of course I bought it.
