Germany, SS. A Schutzmannschaft Officer’s M43-Style Service Cap
(Schutzmannschaft Einheitsfeldmütze M43 für Offiziere). An extremely well-preserved Schutzmannschaft (Schuma) Officer’s M43-style service cap, constructed of dark navy blue wool. It is fully surrounded by fold-down side panels, scalloped at the front, providing optional ear and neck protection to the wearer. The flaps are embroidered in place at the front, forming a secure chinstrap for functional wear. Stitched onto the peak is a Schuma insignia in the form of a black rayon backer bearing a machine-embroidered silver aluminum wire elongated mobile swastika, set within an oval laurel leaf wreath. The insignia measures 34 mm (w) x 42 mm (h) overall. Completing the exterior features is a protruding cardboard-reinforced visor, lined in identical wool. The interior is fully encompassed by a multi-piece black rayon liner. Fully unmarked, the cap measures approximately 200 mm (w) x 255 mm (l) x 115 mm (h). Free of evident faults or damage, the cap is in an overall extremely fine condition.
