GERMAN WW2 RUSSIAN FRONT RABBIT FUR HAT
A scarce German Russian Front cap. After the catastrophic winter of 1941-42 on the Eastern Front, the German military rapidly designed improved cold weather clothing. By the Fall of 1942, a variety of fur lined caps had been introduced. There were no standardized "model numbers", but this version is a commonly encountered pattern. It has a fieldgray wool body, with a visor and fold down ear flaps backed with rabbit fur. The flaps are held in the "up" (open) position by a single button . The flaps can be tied under the wearer's chin via cloth ties (missing).
Many soldiers pinned or sewed insignia to the brim.
Condition is very good with 95% of the fur intact, interior shows staining from use. Dated 1943 and with maker details
$275
