Waffen Ss Tropical Field Cap

[Tommaso]

Nice caps here!

Mike is that TK (ventless one) a Woven tropical one? It doesn't seems to be the "usual" BeVo tropical TK that you could find everywhere out there during the last 5 years....May you confirm me that?

Cheers
Tom

Tropical insignia (usually unissued) are quite common and plentiful compared with other SS insignia. They are certainly much easier to find on the market than the silver/gray variety.

Tropical skulls and SLEEVE eagles are common; however, SS tropical CAP eagles are quite rare.

Cheers,
Erich

Onr from my grandfathers' album again

Boy I tell you D.B. has become my #1 competition in the SS photo dept.!!!!! Heres probably the best detailed photos of the tropical caps in period wear. The top 2 come from my grandfathers' photo album. He was in the 16th RFSS.....About 9 years ago I had the opportunity to get Hardys example that was featured in Beavers book but passed on it due to fund shortage. Actually not too bad compared to what theyre going for now....
