KM Coastal Artillery Officer's Overseas Cap
Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery Officer's Overseas Cap (Schiffchen für Offiziere). Field-grey woolen cap having bright golden/yellow celleon piping for officers ranks along the top edge of the fold down panels. The insignias on the cap are the Kriegsmarine coastal artillery style national eagle, nicely hand-embroidered in gold wire thread on a dark green woolen base, placed above a stunning hand-embroidered black/white/red national tri-color cockade. Both insignia are nicely period hand applied to the cap. The cap has a grey cotton lining and is nicely maker marked by the company of 'Johannes Hermann' from Marienberg, the cap is size 57 marked and dated 1942. The cap is only slightly used and in very good condition with minimal age and usage toning, see photos. Very rare and hard to find original Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery Officer's Overseas Cap!
