Germany, SS. A Waffen-SS Officer’s Overseas Cap, Italian-Made by Berven Newly Listed quality period striking(Waffen SS Schiffchen). A well preserved Waffen SS Officers overseas cap, constructed of field grey gabarine wool. The cap is fully surrounded by fold down side walls which gently slope toward the front.
