Germany, Heer. An EM/NCO’s M34 Overseas Cap

(Heer Feldmütze). An interesting and very well-preserved Heer EM/NCO’s M34 overseas cap, constructed of field-grey wool twill. The cap is fully surrounded by fold-down side panelling, secured in place at the front with machine stitching. It is flanked on each side of the crown by a reinforced ventilation holes. Stitched onto the peak is an insignia in the form of a field-grey rayon backer bearing a grey machine-embroidered Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 64 mm (w) x 28 mm (h). Underneath the eagle is a machine-embroidered tricolour cockade, measuring 32 mm (w) x 32 mm (h). The interior features a complete grey rayon liner, which presents plain. The cap is unmarked and measures approximately 298 mm (l) x 112 mm (h) when folded. While well-preserved, the frontal area of the panelling has been removed and replaced with dark coloured wool, possibly evidential of repair, and age-appropriate fading is apparent to the remainder of the exterior. The cap is in an overall very fine condition.
