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-colour 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 vulcan 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 excellent supple condition and is stamped HB 37 to the interior.
The inside of the cap is lined in a champagne-colored cotton, with the dome is missing the celluloid shield and is unnamed. The cap shows only light contact on the visor, slight discoloration in the white piping, with no fabric interruptions and moth holes, remaining in very fine condition.
A very nice example of a classic hat work by German Army Infantry NCOs in WW2.
