WWII Wehrmacht Artillerie Officer Visor Cap
€795,00An attractive and original Wehrmacht (Heer) Artillerie Officer’s Schirmmütze, with the distinctive bright red (hochrot) Waffenfarbe denoting service with the Artillery branch. The cap displays the elegant appearance expected of privately purchased officer-quality headgear and retains excellent display appeal.
The cap features a high-quality feldgrau wool body with a dark bottle-green center band, beautifully highlighted by vivid red piping around both the crown and band. It retains its original aluminum Heer officer cap eagle, finely hand-embroidered silver bullion oak leaf wreath with metal officer cockade, silver officer chin cords, and black vulcanfiber visor. The buttons are sewn on with black thread (also used to sew on the sweat band in the middle at the back and the oak leaf wreath, this all looks period done so the extra thread might not have been cut back in the day).
The overall shape remains very attractive, with the typical saddle-form crown giving the cap excellent display characteristics. All insignia appear period-applied and match the cap well. The interior retains its original brown leather sweatband and silk lining.
Overall condition is very good, exhibiting only light age-related wear, with no significant moth damage observed to the exterior cloth. The colors remain strong, with particularly vibrant artillery piping that contrasts beautifully against the feldgrau body.
A highly desirable original Wehrmacht Heer officer’s visor cap from the Artillery branch, offering excellent display quality and representing one of the most recognizable pieces of German officer headgear from the Second World War.
Condition: Very good original condition with honest period wear. Interior shows use and age-related staining, with partial separation of the sweatband stitching. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
Belgian WWII / Postwar State Security (Staatsveiligheid) Officer Visor Cap – Name & Photo!
€225,00Original Belgian visor cap dating from the WWII-era and later postwar use by the Belgian State Security (Staatsveiligheid / Sûreté de l’État), belonging to Georges Verly (1920–1972). Not named inside but came as is.
A very interesting and uncommon piece with provenance to Verly, accompanied by photographs (copies) and identification paper. According to the accompanying information, Verly spent 4 years in concentration camps, was active with the State Security, endured 2 years of occupation in Germany following arrest by the Nazis, and later served in the Belgian Congo (1947–1957).
The cap remains in very nice condition overall, featuring the Belgian cockade, lion insignia, and original gold officer’s chin cord. Interior shows honest wear consistent with use. A rare and historically interesting named Belgian security-related headgear set with provenance.

Belgian Army Visor Cap – Post-Liberation / Early Postwar – Royal Crown Badge
€100,00Original Belgian Army visor cap dating to the immediate post-liberation / early post-WWII period, likely manufactured shortly after the liberation of Belgium in 1944–45.
The cap is constructed in classic Belgian khaki wool with a brown leather chinstrap and retains its original Belgian national cockade together with the royal crown insignia to the front. The overall appearance strongly reflects transitional Belgian military headgear used during the rebuilding of the Belgian armed forces following occupation.
The interior retains its original diamond-shaped retailer/manufacturer label from:
“Vêtements Civils et Militaires Van Den Haute-Rabou”
86 Rue de Diest, Louvain (Leuven)

WWI Württemberg Enlisted Visor Cap – Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 120 (Somme, Verdun, Flanderns!)
€295,00Original enlisted man’s visor cap from the Kingdom of Württemberg, attributed to Reserve Infantry Regiment No. 120, a unit with extensive and active service throughout World War 1.
The cap remains in good, color-fresh condition, with the cloth and trim retaining a pleasing and well-preserved appearance. It shows typical signs of age, including light moth damage and a few very small holes, the most noticeable being a small hole on the reverse within the red band.
Inside, the cap is clearly marked with the wearer’s name “Stemmler” alongside the regimental designation “Res. IR 120”, giving it strong historical authenticity and personal attribution.
A highly collectible and historically rich example, directly tied to a regiment that fought in many of the defining campaigns of the Great War. The named interior adds an extra layer of research potential and personal connection.
