Germany, Heer. A Gebirgsjäger Officer’s M43 Field Cap

(Gebirgsjäger Bergmütze). This is an extremely well-preserved Gebirgsjäger (Mountain Troops) M43 field cap, constructed of smooth field-grey wool. The top of the cap features a band of twisted silver aluminum wire piping, indicating that the wearer received a promotion to officer and the cap was later upgraded accordingly. It features fold-down panels providing optional neck protection which, when not in use, are held together at the front of the cap by two pebbled, silvered, magnetic metal buttons. Pinned into the left panel is an insignia, constructed of silvered bronze, consisting of an ice pick around which is wrapped an edelweiss. The pin is unmarked and measures 30 mm (w) x 64 mm (h). The peak of the cap bears an insignia in the form of a machine-embroidered silver aluminum wire Wehrmacht-style German national eagle and tri-coloured cockade, set on a green rayon backer measuring 60 mm (w) x 45 mm (h). The cap also features a protruding cardboard-reinforced visor, securely integrated with the body. The interior bears a brown leather sweatband covering the forehead area, with an embossed stamp of “QUALITÄTS MARKE”. There is a complete dark grey rayon liner with a silky finish. The cap is unmarked and measures approximately 198 mm (w) x 250 mm (l) x 120 mm (h). The cardboard visor reinforcement has cracked and there is a small tear to the sweatband, but the cap is in an otherwise extremely fine condition.
