GERMAN WWII TRANSPORT AFRIKA KORPS FIELD CAP.

A large size Transport Afrika Korps cap by Lago. The standard field cap issued to Afrika Korps soldiers. These caps were being produced in 1940 in preparation for the campaign. This example faintly dated 1940 with size 59. To the exterior the tropical style cloth is washed out and faded, the cornflower blue soutache is faded and shredded in parts. The insignia is the standard first pattern eagle and roundel, applied in the correct manner for the manufacturer. Both eagle and soutache has very dark shades of cloth hidden behind the insignia, suggesting significant sun bleaching.
