    29th Div. Italian SS officer shirmmutze

    I already posted this cap on SS section, but I've been kindly requested by another member (Hi, Chris! ) to post it in this section too.
    What I'm going to show is something really hard to find...
    It's an untouched Italian SS officer shirmmutze, made in Italian gabardine, white waffenfarbe, black velvet (probably silk velvet) band, Lorioli zamac eagle and monkey-head style totenkopf. As you can notice front eagle is positioned in upper position if compared to normal German ones, which is tipical of Italian SS, as you can see in original pictures. If you observe this cap you'll notice how is well realized, on the contrary of many people think Italian made shirmmutzes keeps an high level.
    Personally I consider it one of my "jewels"...I really hope you appreciate it.

              Beautiful cap, I love the blue/grey gabardine!

              I just read your thread on the SS forum regarding Italian WSS items, simply outstanding, especially the caps in your collection. Thanks for posting them.

              I think that maybe this cap isn't Italian made though. It looks like a standard German made contract cap for an SS officer. The interior is identical to one I own and others I've seen, some of them here on the forum.

                        Ben, You know I always listen to you when it comes to WSS caps, but this time I disagree.

                          Nostradamus--thanks for posting this here--I didn't want the guys to miss this beauty--

                          BTW, you should all check out the thread on the 29th SS Division that Nostradamus started on the SS forum--its one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of trolling thru!
