Allgemeine-SS black RZM officer’s visor cap marked RZM 35

Beautiful original black Allgemeine-SS officer’s visor cap (Schirmmütze für Führer), originally manufactured as an enlisted men’s example and subsequently upgraded to officer specifications. The cap is constructed from high-quality black ribbed wool with white piping around the crown and cap band. The front is fitted with the characteristic silver-coloured SS eagle and Totenkopf insignia, accompanied by the silver officer’s chin cord. The skull is a typical Overhoff and the eagle is a typical Wagner example.

The cap retains its beautiful original shape and is in excellent condition, showing only minor traces of age and wear. The interior is lined in orange-brown fabric and retains its original brown leather sweatband and intact celluloid diamond featuring the SS runes. The underside of the visor is additionally marked with the SS runes.

Underneath the sweatband is the original black RZM manufacturer’s label, clearly marked Hersteller 35 and bearing the serial number 157004. The cap is a desirable size 57.

An attractive and well-preserved example of a black Allgemeine-SS visor cap, retaining its original RZM markings and distinctive officer configuration. An exceptionally decorative and increasingly difficult-to-find piece of original SS headgear!
