Kreis Embroidered Visor # 483
Kreis Embroidered Visor # 483
For your consideration, a final pattern Kreis visor introduced for
wear in 1939 and used until the fall of the Reich. The final pattern
Kreis visor is recognized by the white piping, replacing the black
piping that had been used up until this time. While the condition and
shape on this example are supreme, the highlight of this specimen is
the elaborate direct embroidered wreath. An expensive and uncommon
upgrade at the time, these are rarely found today. This visor was
unquestionably worn, yet remains in a stunning state of preservation.
If your NSDAP or headgear collection is lacking representation of
this genre, you will not find a better example anywhere. A true
first class piece.
Of note: The embroidered wreath on the visor was expected to be
complimented with the embroidered collar tabs of the corresponding
tunic.
