Rare branch piped Waffen-SS sidecap

Excellent and rare untouched early Waffen-SS sidecap with period hand applied white soutache for Infanterie. The cap retains its wartime sewn bevo eagle and skull. The cap is in textbook construction with false piping on the top with a reinforced centre seam and the bias tape affixed with a single seam. The lining shows very light wear with the size marking perfectly readable. The cap is a nice and large size 58. Perfect example that is impossible to upgrade!
