SOLD!

Light weight, ribbed, tan cotton twill construction cap features fold down side and back panels with gently sloping, downward scallops to the front and forward sides. The front center of the cap has a machine embroidered, second pattern, tropical Luftwaffe eagle in pale silvery/grey threads on a ribbed, tan cotton twill base. The cotton twill base has been folded into an inverted triangle and is handstitched in place.

The front center of the fold down panels has a machine embroidered, padded, national tri-color cockade on a cut-out tan rayon base. Both the eagle and the cockade are handstitched to the cap. The interior of the cap is fully lined in light weight tan cotton.

The lining is marked by the maker with a stamp in black ink: "Almi", "1942" and "56"

A very nice Luftwaffe tropical (for Afrikakorps troops and south front fighting troops like happened in Greece, Italy...) side cap.
