Maroon SS Fez

[Normandy]

Hello Gentleman, I've had this Fez for a number of years and thought I'd post some pics. Is this the French colonial type fez that was captured by the Germans and
issued to the Handschar division?








...the date appears to be 1940.

[Ian Hulley]

Yes, exactly as you said.

Looks great an earlier French made one, harder to find.

Woolier , wide sweatband and rarer slightly larger skull

Thank you Gentleman, thinking back I've had it for about 26 years. It was something different and in good condition and in all that time maybe a half dozen
people have seen it. I'm glad I found WAF and collectors with the same interests.

Good that it wasn't harvested for it's more valuable insignia ... sadly so many were. An instance where the whole was worth less than the sum of the parts
