Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice lightly worn example of a German WWII Heer Infantry EM-NCO M38 overseas cap (Schiffchen). The overseas cap, nicknamed in German military slang as Schiffchen, or literally "little ship" as it resembled an up-turned row-boat, was standard issue for all branches of the Heer.
This example is constructed of a field gray (feldgrau) wool exterior, with a gray cotton / rayon blend lining. This example is an earlier example with a very desirable stitching pattern. It features a fine machine embroidered eagle, with gray thread on a forest green base, the standard Heer colors during the mid war period. Below this is a machine embroidered bullion National Tri-Color Cockade.
There are no markings left in the interior. The size is roughly a 58. Condition overall is very good, showing light wear in areas, and some light mothing and wear to the exterior shell. This is limited to the fuzzy "nap" of the fabric for the most part.
A very nice M38 overseas cap, ready to add to your collection!
