A Wehrmacht Heer (Army) Tropical Overseas Cap

A well preserved Wehrmacht Heer (Army) Tropical Overseas Cap; constructed of olive coloured cotton, with fold-down side and back panels with aggressively sloping downward scallops towards the front. The front of the cap features a machine embroidered tropical eagle that is factory-stitched to the cap, with a machine embroidered tricolour (black, white, red) cocade directly beneath. Both sides of the cap feature brown enamelled rivets functioning as air vents. The interior of the cap is fully lined with a bright red cotton/rayon blended fabric, and features multiple stamps. One stamp is “59”, with an additional stamp of the number “1142”, as well as the maker’s stamp “Hans Bramel, Mützenfabrik, Magdeburg, Merdstraße, 12-13”. The cap measures 275 mm x 115 mm x 278 mm (folded); extremely fine condition, with light signs of gentle wear, but without significant staining or fading of the interior or exterior fabric.
