Alright, so this one is an NCO Wehrmacht visor. It is early war and the strap is HEAVILY ink marked. From what I can remember it was dated 1938 but I don't want to mess with it a lot because I would really hate to break it on accident. The whole thing is in fantastic shape...EXCEPT FOR THE MOTH THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO CHEW ON SOMETHING ELSE! It took a few holes on the front but they are pretty minor. ALSO, take into note the area (last pic I believe) that shows the thumb wear from the soldier taking the hat on and off a lot. It is definite thumb wear too...really interesting and I am sure all issued hats have this. Bob on GHW2 helped me with the info on the ink stamps which I really appreciate: "The 88th Infantry Regiment was a part of the 15th Infantry Division. They fought mainly in the East."
