This Cap Marks A Point Towards The Development Away From The Hitler Mutze Towards The Kepi. It Also Is Indicitive Of The Lack Of Central Control Over Uniforms. The White Colored Top With Brass Front Button Conforms To The 1931 Uniform Wear By Gausturme Ahnnover. At This Point, The Formation Of Gruppe Had Not Been Established. The Colored Top Indicates Wear By An Officer. I Seriously Doubt If This Form Of Headwear Was Worn Widely At The Time.

most stellar piece, bob. now, the mid-1930s feldjaegerkorps wore a (stiff bodied) white-topped kepi I think; did they "borrow"
the color from this transitional cap?Comment
