A RARE ARMY SONDERFUHRERS PEAKED CAP BY EREL.

A very rare Sonderfuhrers peaked cap, this is only the 3rd example that I have owned in over 25 years. Field gray top with blue/gray wool center band and matching blue gray piping. Complete with metal eagle, cockade and silver chin strap. Interior of cap features gold silk lining with celluloid patch with makers details, OFFIZIER KLEIDERKASSE BERLIN,EREL SONDERKLASSE and being the EXTRA model, under the celluloid patch there is a cloth label with the officers name, leather sweat band marked EREL PATENT STIRNSCHUTZ.There are a few moth nips to the cap, mostly on the base edge so they can not been seen when displayed. The army Sonderfuhrer was a civilian specialist serving with the army and holding military rank and privileges, there specialties could be many number of things such as political education, construction, criminal investigator and even specialists investigating captured art. A very difficult peaked cap to find especially if you specialize in collecting EREL hats as some collectors do. [Condition: Exc++]
