Albert Sammt (1889 in Niederstetten – 1982 Niederstetten) was a German commander of Zeppelin-airships.
Sammt was the first officer on the May, 1937 flight from Germany to Lakehurst, NJ of the LZ 129 Hindenburg which ended with the Hindenburg disaster during which he was seriously burned.
This reproduction Zeppelin cap has had medium wear and has been aged to look 70+ years old. It is stained, in places, has a blue officers cover, the leather sweatband has stains and the wreath and chinstrap show dark tarnishing.
The diamond sweat protector has light yellow ageing and the peak also shows age crackling and wear.
This is a high quality aged peaked Hat for a Zeppelin commander.
The final two pictures show Sammt and an original Zeppelin Oficers Cap in extremely good condition.
