Original WWII German Luftwaffe Officer Flak Visor Cap-Dated 1937-Size 56

A beautiful and highly collectible original pre-war German Luftwaffe officer visor cap, manufactured in 1937 and featuring the distinctive red Waffenfarbe piping denoting Flak (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) service. Early, pre-war officer visors in this condition are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, making this an outstanding addition to any advanced WWII German headgear collection.

This example features the classic blue-gray wool body with black mohair center band, red branch piping, aluminum officer chin cord, hand-embroidered aluminum bullion Luftwaffe eagle, and aluminum officer wreath with national cockade. The interior retains its original leather sweatband, cloth liner, and is clearly marked size 56 with a 1937-dated manufacturer’s stamp.

The cap exhibits honest age and service wear expected of an original piece over 85 years old while maintaining exceptional display appeal. The wool remains attractive with strong color, the piping is vibrant, and the visor retains an excellent profile. Overall, this is a handsome early-war example suitable for both advanced collectors and museum-quality displays.
