Heer EM/NCO’s Tropical Overseas cap, Manufactured by Clemens Wagner 1943

Ribbed olive/khaki, cotton twill construction cap with fold down side and back panels with gently sloping, downward scallops to the front and the forward sides. As is typical the fold down panels are stitched in the upright position at the front center of the cap. The crown is flanked on each side by ventilation holes, both reinforced with metal grommets. The top center seam is correctly stitched right through the interior liner, for added strength. The front center of the cap has a machine woven national eagle in light grey threads on a cut-out, woven tan rayon base. The eagle is neatly hand sewn to the cap. The front center of the fold down panel has a machine woven national tri-color cockade, on a woven, tan rayon, base which is machine stitched in place. The interior of the cap is fully lined in light weight red cotton. The lining is well marked with a black size inkstamp, “55”, the manufactures name and location, “Clemens Wagner JAN 43” The cap is in overall good condition with light signs of age and use.

Nice exampel!!
