The item is a German Army Officer Visor Cap (Schirmmütze) accessory, designed for minifigures.
German Army (Wehrmacht) Officer Visor Cap (Field Grey & Black) This is a custom molded and printed headgear accessory representing the iconic service cap worn by German officers. It features a classic Field Grey crown (matching the standard uniform tunic) contrasting with a Black velvet band around the base. The cap is detailed with Silver/White accents, including the Chin Cords (indicating officer rank), the Wehrmacht Eagle (Reichsadler) on the peak, and the Oak Leaf Wreath with Cockade on the band. There is also distinct White Piping along the top of the band.
Background: The Schirmmütze was the standard peaked cap for officers of the Heer (Army) during World War II. The Field Grey top makes this the most common and historically accurate version seen in combat zones and garrison duty. The Silver Chin Cords identify the wearer as a Commissioned Officer (ranking from Leutnant to Oberst), distinguishing them from enlisted men or Generals (who wore gold). The White Piping specifically indicates the “Waffenfarbe” (Branch of Service) for the Infantry, making this the perfect hat for a standard platoon or company commander in a LEGO historical diorama.
