GERMAN WWII ARMY TROPICAL OFFICERS DAK FIELD CAP

A nice example, size 56, of a 2nd pattern tropical visored field cap with its untouched Bevo woven blue on tan eagle and cockade, with the field adaptation of officers' corded style piping to the crown and front scallop of the cap. The paint has lifted from the zinc eyelets. There is no damage to the cap. Evidence of wear on the interior with the original owner’s name applied. As well as the size stamping, there is the model number ‘42’ and the maker of ‘Karl Kubach, Mainz’. The only unusual feature of the Kubach-made caps is that the sweatband is a combination of leatherette and canvas.
