Germany, SS. A Waffen-SS Panzer EM/NCO’s M40 Overseas Cap

(Waffen-SS Schiffchen M40 für Männer der Panzertruppe). A very well-preserved Waffen-SS EM/NCO’s M40 overseas cap, constructed of black wool. The cap is fully surrounded by fold-down side walls, which gently slope toward the front. Visible on the peak is the unmistakable outline of an SS-style eagle insignia which has been carefully removed. Directly below, the front of walls similarly bears the outline of an SS-style Totenkopf insignia which has also been lost to time. The interior is fully encompassed by a black cotton/rayon-blended liner, which is unmarked with the exception of a size of “56” stamped onto the crown in white ink. Measuring approximately 29 cm (l) x 13 cm (h) when folded on a flat surface, it demonstrates no damage or wear and is in an extremely fine condition.
