SS Officer overseas hat

[Ken N]

Hi Guys:

Here is a very nice hat that has recently been gotten quite literally "out of the weeds". Flat-wire skull and EM bevo eagle. But notice that vertical line that runs through the skull. Has anybody seen anything like that before?

Nice score Ken.

The skull is definitely original. The line may be just a manufacturing fault.

Great cap! One thing though, the cap is mint; the eagle is not. Just thinking

[Robert H]

This is a really great Offiziersschiffchen, the cap is not 100% mint and the inliner shows also slighly wear and the areas where the cap is sitting on the head shows the minor grease as you would like expect on an original piece. Pictures cannot tell everything but I got the chance to meet my friend a couple of days ago.

I apologize for my tardiness in thanking everybody for their comments. Robert is right. Although very nice, the hat looks less-than-mint in person.

overseas cap

these white piped overseas caps seem to turn up with the cotton eagle and flat silver skull as the normal pattern combination , I have seen perhaps six examples most show this combination, although I cannot doubt other combinations of the eagle/skull, a very nice cap for sure.....
