Hi Timothy , I must admit that I have never seen one of these before , but it looks to be a spot on period piece to my eye! I see no reason why it is not exactly what you say it is, a private purchase piece. Almost looks like an NCO item! Good find , Leon.

Thanks Leon a lot of collectors are of the opinion NCO private purchase however having said that there is one posted on here recently that shows the boy solider sitting wearing one in a period picture. There is one other period picture In the Brian Davis wermacht book and it does show a NCO wearing one. I like them and you just don't find a lot of them compared with standard M-34. timothy

Hello,
I don't believe that this is a private purchase Hat. This is most likely an issue hat from captured stocks. Sometimes they were modified to german standards and other times they just placed insignia on them and issued them. They did this with tunics of conquered nations also.

That is quite right and your theory may hold a lot of water that might explain why you see late war conscripts wearing them. timothy
