WAFFEN-SS LATE WAR M43 FIELD CAP
SOLD!
Wonderful late war Waffen-SS field cap in italian wool material.
The cap is of typical last ditch production as seen with items taken from the Dachau stock with the exposed Presstoff bill. The cap is in very good condition, it only shows minor usage, and it has the right amount of patina.
The cap is a size 56, the size stamp in black ink is still visible on the lining.
The trapezoid insigna is machine embroidered with white/black cotton thread on a dark green wool base, and it is factory machine sewn to the cap.
The internal lining is made with ribbed grey cotton fabric and it shows some wear.
This is the so called "Dachau" made variant. This late war, heavily simplified variant has a few distinct details such as no back seam and the cardboard visor. It was possibly made in KL Dachau in the latter stages of the war. When the Americans liberated the camp, they found a warehouse full of uniforms, caps and insignia. They where mostly looted and taken home as souvenirs. Many of these green and black Waffen-SS M43 caps where taken home by American soldiers and most of them are all in this very good, or unissued condition!
A scarce W-SS M43 in a excellent condition.
Payment via paypal as family/friend or bank transfer.
