THIRD REICH NSFK FLYERS DAGGER BY GEBR HELLER WITH UNUSUAL ISSUE STAMPS.
For some reason the NSFK flyer's knife is much harder to find than the earleyer DLV model, I probably see 10 DLV's to every NSFK example, the only difference between the two models is the throat stamping but it is a very important difference.

Brown cloth top, the center band is in the same colour as the body of the hat which is a feature of these early style hats, blue piping for ortsgrupen level of political leadership. Brown patent visor with attractive age crazzing but it is not cracked or damaged in any way. Complete with large early pattern silver eagle and swastika cockade and correct silver cap cords.The interior features early style oilcloth lining and leather sweat band, there is no RZM label as this hat is to early for that. There is a minor old age stain to the top of the hat but it can not be seen when displayed and it is extremely minor. This is an extremely nice looking hat and rare being so early. [Condition: Exc++]
