Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This cap is in typical Heer army green wool with a forest green band and a traditional high peak with matching white piping along the top edge and flanking either side of the band, indicating the branch to be Infantry.
It is decorated with a well detailed silvered aluminum eagle insignia on the peak and and an open silvered aluminum wreath surrounding a tri-color cockade on the band. The dual-buckled black leather chinstrap, designating the wearer to be an enlisted man, is attached to black lacquered buttons on either side. The vulcanized visor has a smooth black leather-look upper, exhibiting wear along the edge and is brown on the underside. The brown synthetic leather sweatband is in very good supple condition and is unmarked
The inside of the cap is lined with light brown fabric, with oil cloth on the top. The top plastic shield is fully intact, though a lot of the stitching has pulled, and the maker name is no longer visible. Under the plastic it is marked with size 57. The cap shows only light wear, mostly around the edge, and some minor moth nips, overall very nice condition as pictured.
A very nice example of a classic hat work by German Army Infantry NCOs in WWII.
