Extremely Rare Surviving WW1-WW2 Era German Officer’s Black Leather Visor Peak Cap, Panzer Motorcycle Company, c. 1930s / 1940s, Authentic Muir Cap with Built-in German Military Insignia Cockade & Metal Snake Chained Chin Strap. Interested parties should submit your offer. This original war era German Officer’s Leather Muir Cap is a remarkable piece of history from Ground Forces Infantry in the early to mid-1930s, represents a significant era pre-WW2. This rare artifact is a prized addition for discerning antiquarians or museum curators seeking exceptional pieces for their exhibits. Crafted by the renowned Muir Cap & Regalia Ltd company, known for their legendary craftsmanship in uniform caps for military and organizations since 1875 in Europe before relocating to Toronto, Canada at the turn of the century. This specific Muir Cap belonged to a WW2 era German (Air Force) Officer serving in the ground force infantry under the Panzer Division, specifically the “General Göring Regiment” Motorcycle Company, a notable military police force likely stationed in Italy leading up to the war. The cap and visor are made of genuine, waxed (Pull-Up), black leather adorned with Muir-issued silver cap buttons and a silver snake chain link expansion strap. The hatband features intricate zig-zag stitching on tanned leather, while the interior is lined with black silk satin. Notably, a diamond-shaped swatch of transparent oil cloth or other water-resistant material from that era is stitched into the crown to protect the cap’s label and lining. Distinctively, the cap features silver wings, wreath & cockade insignia backed by a heavy metal badge or solid metal rectangular backing permanently installed into the peak and sewn into the lining, a characteristic unique to officer’s caps. While the original rank badge and silver bullion are not present, this cap remains a valuable addition to any militaria or collectibles collection due to its historical significance. Made in Canada, this cap is in excellent condition, representing an exceptional opportunity for serious collectors or museum curators aiming to acquire top-tier WW2 German Air Force collectibles and vintage apparel. Please review the photos. The leather displays some wear, scratches, and small areas of surface peeling. The built-in wreath and cockade black and red paint shows typical wear from exposure, which is common for a used military motorcycle officer’s uniform headgear relic; otherwise, it remains in excellent condition. The chin strap looks good but is stiff and should not be fully stretched or pulled. The area of the hat behind the stowed chin strap shows wear from the friction of chain links against the leather, which is expected given the original wearer’s use over years of service. The interior of the cap has some wear but is still in relatively excellent condition. The Muir brand label, located behind an acetate film, has been preserved for decades and remains in near mint condition.
