    Waffen-SS rare cap...

    Here a picture of an albanian (?? I think... ) volunteer.
    Which tipe of cap is this? It seems even a camo one!!


    My books:


    - THE WEHRPAß & SOLDBUCH OF THE WH
    - THE SS TK RING
    - THE ITALIAN-GERMAN MEDAL
    - THE ANTI PARTISAN BADGE
    - THE AWARDS OF THE LW

    and more!

    I've seen a better copy of this and it was obvious that it's no camo. This hat is a fez, with different shape IMO.

      This is the Albanian-style, conical Fez. Referred to in German as Albanerfez, this was worn by the Albanian Muslim volunteers with the Handschar and later Skanderbeg Divisions.
      To a limited degree, it was also worn by German cadre personnel of those formations. (For example, there are even photographs of Handschar's commander Karl-Gustav Sauberzweig wearing one.)
      The cap's color was grey; the "camo-like" effect is only due to the photograph's poor quality.

        It is an red or grey coloured albanian fez. This fez is more coned than the kama or handschar fez. I think John T. has a nice exemplar.

                  That's called "Kama"'s variation as far as I remember.
                  I've seen a couple of originals over the years, 2 years ago SSBW had one on sale on his website.
