This is a nice original Wehrmacht (Heer) 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. This is a standard Wehrmacht (heer) or Waffen-SS type of winter fur cap. The cap is nicely RB.Nr. '1/0450/0317' and dated 1943, the cap is size '55' marked. The cap is having tie strings for closure to keep the cap secured when worn folded up. 3 to me unknown insignia are attached to the front but invisible due to the thick fur. Nice original cap in very good, mint and unissued, condition. Nice original Winter Fur Cap!
