10,313.71 kr
Field-grey wool construction cap features fold down back and side panels with two grey painted pebbled metal button front closure. The back and side panels were designed to be folded down to protect the wearers ears and neck and the scalloped front section could be secured with the buttons closed under the wearers chin. The front center of the cap has a machine woven M43 style national eagle factory machine and hand sewn in place. The cap has an extended, cloth covered, forward visor with an internal stiffener with a subtly raised lip to the top of the forward edge and a single row of reinforcement stitching to the bottom of the forward edge. The interior of the cap is fully lined in grey cotton. The lining has well marked with black ink: RBNr. 0/0578/5015 (factory code), “7/43” (which means the cap was produced July 1943. And last “56” which is the size of the cap.
The cap is most likely never worn, but has some signs of age and storage wear. There is a couple of smaller moth holes and the buttons shows surface rust.
Hard to find a cap with such clear stamps inside, the cap is also in very good condition!!
