Heer Transport EM/NCO'S M34 Overseas Cap, Produced 1941

Field-grey wool construction cap with fold down side and back panels. As is typical the fold down panels are handstitched in the upright position at the front center of the cap. The front center of the cap has a machine woven, national eagle in grey threads on a cut-out woven, field-grey rayon base. The eagle is neatly handstitched to the cap. The front center of the fold down panels has a machine woven, national cockade on a woven, diamond shaped, dark-green rayon base. The cockade is machine stitched to the cap. The cap has a light blue rayon inverted “V” soutache indicating service with the Transport. The soutache has been applied in the correct manner, being machine stitched in place and inserted through two, small, puncture holes near the bottom edge of the cap.

The cap has a non ferrous metal ventilation with field-grey enamel paint grommet to either side. The interior of the cap is fully lined in grey cotton and drill cloth. Clearly, size, maker and year of production (1941) all in black ink. The cap is in good, still used condition with light signs of age and real use. No rips, tears or mendings.

Used cap in still very good condition from a scarce branch of service!!
