Description

Luftwaffe visor cap for EM and NCOs. Unlike an officer's cap which was always worn with a silver bullion piping, EM and NCOs had a colored piping that indicated the branch they were serving for. 

Branch: Flying troops. Yellow piping.
Insignia: A alumimum cap eagle and wreath badge. All prongs in place.
Chin strap: textbook black strap for EM and NCOs. Correct buttons period time attached.

Lining: Yellow color silk.
Celluloid diamond: missing

Maker's mark: none. "Luxus" marked. 
Sweat-band: minor signs of wear. 1938 dated

About 30% of the visor seam has opened but the visor still holds fine.
