Original German WWII Heer Army Wool EM-NCO M38 Size 56cm Overseas Cap - Schiffchen
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good service use4d condition example of a German WWII Heer Army EM-NCO M38 overseas cap (Schiffchen). The overseas cap, nicknamed in German military slang as Schiffchen, or literally "little ship" as it resembled an up-turned row-boat, was standard issue for all branches of the Heer.
This example is constructed of a field gray (feldgrau) wool exterior, with a tan cotton lining. It features a fine BeVo style machine embroidered eagle, with white thread on a forest green base, the standard Heer colors. Below this is a machine embroidered bullion National Tri-Color Cockade on a square forest green background. There is no branch of service, so we assume this was probably for an infantry soldier.
The inside of the cap has a nice condition lightweight canvas lining, which has depot or unit marking 9 and size stamp of 56cm.
Condition of this cap is very good, with a few small moth nips, though there is overall wear to the exterior shell. Much of the fuzzy "nap" on the exterior is missing, except under the side flaps. The colors are retained quite well, and this is definitely a very attractive and colorful overseas cap. The interior shows moderate period service wear. Ready to add to your collection!
