    Swiss-made fire department (Feuerwehr) officer's kepi, dating from the mid-20th century (1940s, during World War II, 1939–1945).
    This high-end cap belonged to a captain, as evidenced by its three fine gold braids and its madder-red piping.
    Features and condition:

    Renowned historic manufacturer: Original, perfectly legible interior stamp from the Krema factory (Laeng, Bärtschi & Zumstein), a supplier specializing in firefighting equipment (Feuerwehrrequisiten) based in Kirchberg (Canton of Bern, Switzerland).
    Size: 56 (original label still present and intact).
    Good condition: The dark blue/black fabric is sound, with no moth holes. The black leather visor and the faux chin strap with its metal buckle are perfectly intact.
    Interior: Superb bright red silk or satin lining, very clean and fresh. Brown leather sweatband in excellent condition.

    A rare collector’s item in such pristine condition, ideal for a collector of vintage headgear or the history of Swiss firefighters.
