The item is a German General Officer Visor Cap (Schirmmütze) accessory, designed for minifigures.
German General Visor Cap (Field Grey & Black) This is a custom molded and printed headgear accessory representing a high-ranking officer’s peaked cap. It features a Field Grey crown sitting atop a Black band. Distinct from standard officer caps, this piece is detailed with Gold accents: the Chin Cords (cap ropes), the Wehrmacht Eagle (Reichsadler) on the peak, and the Oak Leaf Wreath with Cockade on the band.
Background: In the German Wehrmacht, the color of the insignia and chin cords indicated rank. While standard officers (Lieutenants to Colonels) wore silver, Gold was strictly reserved for Generals (Generale). This specific color combination—Field Grey top with a dark (Black/Dark Green) band—represents the standard service uniform for a General in the Army (Heer), distinguishing them from the “Red Band” General Staff officers. In a LEGO diorama, this cap is perfect for a Field Marshal or a Division Commander inspecting the troops on the front lines.
