NS-RKB Personell's Visor Cap (Schirmmütze).
The DRKB, " Deutscher Reichskriegerbund" (German National-veterans’-league), was formed during WWI, and was based on the DKB, "Deutscher Kriegerbund, " originally formed after the Franco-Prussian war in the 1870s.
By 1936 it had incorporated most of the varied veterans’ associations into it, and was itself re-named the NS-RKB, "Nationalsozialistische - Reichskriegerbund, " in 1938.
Uniform and headgear regulations were introduced prior to 1933, were modified in 1936, and again in 1938.
A Early pattern, deep navy blue wool construction visor cap.
Fixed to the forward seam line of the body is a 1938 pattern, stamped aluminum, spread-winged eagle with a wreathed, mobile swastika in its talons, and crossed swords behind an Iron Cross to its breast.
The Iron Cross is detailed in black enamel.
On the reverse side it is signed GES.GESCH. 18
The black rayon center band features machine embroidered iron crosses alternating with shields, within which are " Kyffhäuser" monuments (a monument to a united Germany located in Saxony).
Fixed by the black-painted, convex metal buttons positioned over each ear is a original black cord.
The interior of the cap is fully lined in mid-blue rayon, and features a gray leather sweatband.
Roughly a size 54/55.
