Category:
€ 549,00
An exceptional, textbook investment-grade example of a pre-war / early World War II German Hitler Youth (HJ) tan cotton side cap (Feldmütze).The standout feature of this specific piece is the ultra-rare, factory-original machine-woven (BeVo-style) youth organization diamond insignia. Unlike more common examples with later, hand-sewn replacements, this diamond was integrated and factory-stitched during production, remaining entirely unaltered and undamaged. The distinct red piping running along the top edge remains fully intact with no fraying.The interior features its original orange-tan cotton lining, complete with a crisp period black ink stamp showing the youth size '53' alongside the official district code 'W.'. Crucially, the interior also retains its original, period-authentic paper control tag (Reichszeugmeisterei). While partially torn from genuine period wear, the unique serial control number 'N° 247260' is sharply visible.The cap comes complete with its full, original brown sweatband showing honest age crazing and light wear. A premier, 100% untouched piece with flawless provenance for advanced collections.
