$286
(Sturmabteilung Lagermütze). A well-preserved Sturmabteilung (SA) Hochland garrison cap, constructed of light brown wool. The cap is fully surrounded by decorative scalloped fold-down side panels, held in place by a row of machine stitching around the circumference. The cap is flanked on each side by a ventilation hole reinforced by a brown-painted magnetic metal eyelet. Stitched onto the left side of the cap is an insignia in the form of a blue cotton triangular backer bearing a machine-embroidered silver aluminum wire SA-style German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika. The eagle insignia measures 65 mm (w) x 40 mm (h) and indicates SA Group Hochland. The exterior features are completed by a pebbled and gilded magnetic metal button pinned onto the peak. A light brown cotton-blended liner fully encompasses the interior, with the crown bearing an intact Reichszeugmeisterei (RZM) label with a maker’s code of “487” and a secondary code of “251961”. A black ink size stamp of “56” overlays the RZM label. The cap measures 278 mm (w) x 110 mm (h). Some material fatigue is evident to the exterior wool, with additional oxidation apparent to the ventilation eyelets. The cap is in an overall near extremely fine condition.
