This is for a genuine wartime Enlisted Mans/NCO Luftwaffe side cap in very good service worn condition.

The cap is complete with its original badges comprising the cockade and Luftwaffe eagle. It displays well and is free of moth nip which many on the market have succumbed to. The photographs provide the best description. There is a small mark/stain on the outside at the rear shown on the photo, which looks like it could be easily removed/washed out but I prefer to leave caps as they are. The inside lining has some light sweat soiling, and there is one tiny hole in the lining only. There is a small issue stamp on the inside but this has faded through service wear and is now barely legible.

The design of the Schiffchen allowed it to be tucked easily away when a helmet was needed to be worn. It was worn at most other times behind the lines and into the front lines where when a helmet was not required.

A good honest wartime example that is perfect for a collector, unmessed with and not a fake or reproduction of any kind. I guarantee it’s authenticity or your money back within 14 days. An inspection in person is welcome by appointment and feel free to ask for further photographs. This came from a reputable militaria dealer who for some time had kept it in his own personal collection. His business card will be included. I’ve decided to sell off my militaria collection, feel free to ask any questions
