100% Original WW2 Kepi Cap








































































































































100% Original WW2 Kepi Cap

For historical collection only!

This is a political coffee can hat. Red wool doeskin material with brown fabric. No moth holes, no damage. Size is 57. There is no manufacture's label, and no RZM tag. The only minor thing is a small area of dirty stain at the back of the hat (you can hardly see it in the photo because it is not very visible). The chin leather band is shrunk a little in the front. Otherwise it is in mint condition. The liner is anti-sweat material with the wiped out owner’s name by the black paint. Presumably there was a name or a stamp of a theater which was wiped out, or the family of the owner didn’t want to disclose the owner’s name. Dark brown oilcloth sweat band. In general, in good condition with very minor aged and wear tracks.

I can't take better pictures than the real hat. No black light test is done. It is 100% original WW2 hat. If you need to see more photos of the hat with the eagle on, please click on each photo and you will see enlarged one in detail.
