Rare WW2 German Pioneer Officers Visor Cap By Carl Kuhlmann

A stunning German Pioneer officers visor cap to the rare maker Carl Kuhlmann.
Kuhlmann worked under licence for the highly regarded cap retailer Peter Kupper whose high quality standards were evident on every one of its contracted caps this piece being no exception. Made of a fine high quality black piped doeskin wool both front insignia are of the early 'leichtmetall' & still tight to the cap. The lesser seen oxide green underside to peak & sweatband as well as a velvet insert running around the circumference of the cap between the sweatband & the body accentuates the fine workmanship that could be purchased by an officer at his own expense . The ornately patterned front section of the green sweatband incorporates a cleverly designed system 'Stirndruckfrei' which reduced pressure on the forehead when worn & was again only found at the higher priced end of private purchase caps. The celluoloid dimaond bares the name ' Carl Kuhlmann ,Holzminden ' & 'Stirndruckfrei Deutches Reichspatent' .
I have closely examined this cap & can find only a couple of very very minor surface only tracks upon very close inspection.
Fabulous high quaity piece .
