Gents,
In a lot with some Reichs and Kriegsmarine stuff I encounterd this piece. The lot was not exclusive RM/KM and in the end this piece got me puzzeled.
It's a white cloth tellermutze like garment, I looked like the early one piece Kaiserliche marine Summer/tropical tellermutze. But those seem be made from a thicker cloth and have a sweetband like folded rim.
But it has the typical KM construction, a top with rim a 4 piece "underside" and a 1 piece rim.
but the inside has not the neat German finish, you'd expect to find on German headgear.
Could it be a summer cover that also covers the rim where the tally goes?
It's also quite big, I have size 58, this will be a 60 (what would make sense when wrapped over a "regular size" tellermutze).
all help is appreciated!
thank you,
Michiel
ps. the sizes indicated are in centimeters.
