WSS leather panzer field cap?

[Salvatore L]

Hay Sal, I don't know if is a good one? But it has been made very well, and has the shape of a M-43, also there is age to it. I don't know what kind of insignias were on there as the outline of what was there, looks strange. But if it turns out to be post War I think it would be a nice fill in, for a Panzer or KM soldier!

Thanks Lou and all the other friends for your opinions. The cap that started this thread sold yesterday on EBay for close to $900.00. I did not participate on the auction because there is too much uncertainty about these.

I found this other one on the web. This one seems like a variant with the shadow of SS insignia? As we all know, the use of KM leather jackets and pants by the WSS is a fact. But I don't remember seing a period picture with this type of cap in use. Do anyone know if this caps were discussed before?

Looks well made and cut like a KM cap.....note the wide spacing of visor underside stitching. Interesting for sure! Thanks for posting.

More likely S&M than SS.

Sal, Is there any indication of insignia attachment or holes in the front? I rather like it myself. Rick

This is a hat from the Austrian driver of the First World War, certainly in the second world war this type of caps were taken from Wehmacht

Unfortunately Rick I don't know. The only thing I have are these photos from the web.
