This is a very nice example of a German WWII Kriegsmarine Navy M38 Overseas cap (\u003cem\u003eSchiffchen\u003c\/em\u003e), as worn NCO ranks. The overseas cap, nicknamed in German military slang as \u003cem\u003eSchiffchen\u003c\/em\u003e, or literally \"little ship\" as it resembled an up-turned row-boat, was standard issue for Warrant and Petty officer NCO ranks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap is constructed of a navy blue wool exterior, and features machine BeVo embroidered bullion eagle and tri-color cockade emblems sewn to the front. The interior is black light canvas, and is in very good condition. There is a size \u003cstrong\u003e55\u003c\/strong\u003e stamped on the right hand side. There is some elastic installed on the inside for a more snug fit, but we do not know if this is a period addition or not. It does not look to have been added any time recently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition of the cap is very good, showing wear from service on the exterior, which has removed some of the fuzzy 'nap' of the wool fabric. There is some fading, and also a repaired tear on the crown of the cap. A very nice cap that was \"really there\", ready to add to your collection!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39867176878149,"sku":"ONSV22SOS64","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ONSV22SOS64__11.jpg?v=1647033797","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-kriegsmarine-navy-em-nco-m38-size-55cm-overseas-cap-schiffchen","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
