Original Item: Only One Available. Acquired directly from a WW2 veteran’s family, this is a great looking M43 Heer (Army) M43 cap. It constructed of wool with fold-down panels with squared scallops to the front and forward sides, covering the entire neck on the sides and rear when in use. When not in use, the panels are raised with their ends resting upon the visor, being joined together via two aluminum olive-drab painted buttons. The visor is reinforced with cardboard, and covered in matching wool cloth.
Sewn in place in the front of the cap is a standard BeVo style Herr cap trapezoid constructed of machine woven grey and green threading in the shape of a standard eagle over a cockade. It is original to the cap and is machine-sewn to the outer fabric. The BeVo patch is in very clean crisp condition. The interior of the cap is lined with satin and in excellent condition. The lining is ink stamped with RBNr number and size as follows:
0/0487/0002
55
Overall, this is a great looking wartime used M43 field cap!
