WH (Heer) Infantry EM's Overseas Cap
WH (Heer) Infantry EM's Overseas Cap (Einheitsfeldmütze M34). The M34 overseas cap was introduced for wear by EM/NCO's on 24 March 1934. On 21 July 1942 it was replaced by the more functional M42 overseas cap followed by the M43 field-cap which was based on the M42 overseas cap and the Mountain Trooper’s Mountain Cap (Bergmütze). This is a textbook EM's M34 overseas cap. On front the cap is having an original BeVo cocarde and cap-eagle hand-sewn to the cap, the cap is complete with an original white coloured 'Infanterie' (Infantry) soutache. The cap is nicely maker marked by the company of 'Emil Gliewe' from Nuedamm (nowadays Dębno in Poland) and dated 1940. The cap is size '56' marked. The cap is showing some minimal traces of years of storage and some small moth damages, see photos. Hard to find original Iinfantry EM's Overseas Cap (Schiffchen) in good condition!
