Title Luftwaffe officer's summer peak cap
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This is a nice example, with its celluloid diamond intact and the silver print lettering, 'Sterndruckfrei / Deutschereichspatent'. It has a calf leather sweat band. It has a detachable white top, similar in construction to the white top navy cap of the same ilk.

There is some age distress to the rayon lining, but externally the hat is in excellent shape, with some oxidisation of the silver bullion cockade/wings.

These caps are not very common on the market, especially in reasonable shape like this.

testimonials

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.

I recieved the medal today and I am very pleased with the quality. It is in excellent condition, both the medal and the ribbon, for an original.
