Luftwaffe Winter Fur Cap

[Aldo]

I've always wanted one of these winter caps for my Luftwaffe collection. This one presented itself in excellent condition at a very reasonable cost. I realize that most TR winter caps are underappreciated and as a result are often inexpensive in comparison to visors and side caps making them a great starting point for a collection. This iconic cap is made of genuine sheep's skin with the fleece side on the interior. Has fleece flaps that button together at top. Has leather visor that's lined on the underside with a greenish-gray cotton fabric. Original Luft cap eagle and rosette, hand sewn on. Interior cloth label is marked with size '56' and dated '1942'. It has two leather flaps that cover the communications ports on both sides for a radio head set.

Regards, Al
