Luftwaffe Winter Fur Cap - 'Pelzmütze'

Description

This is a nice original Luftwaffe Winter Fur Cap (Pelzmütze). These winter caps were a standard issue item and were distributed to all EM/NCO’s for the winter season, (15 September to 15 April), with other winter garments and were to be returned to the units clothing depot in April for storage, repair and cleaning to be re-issued the following September. Although there was no official standard model of the fur cap the most commonly encountered type followed the basic pattern of the Mountain and M43 caps with fold down back and side panels designed to protect the wearer’s ears and neck. The cap is complete with an original cap-eagle and cocarde, both nicely hand-sewn to the cap. The cap is not visible maker marked or dated. The cap just shows some minor traces of years of storage. These original fur caps are not so often offered for sale. Great original example in very good condition!

This cap originates from the collection of the recently closed Eyewitness Museum!
