Rare officer upgrade Heer Tropical field cap

Rare original tropical Heer EM field cap for wear in the Afrika Korps. The example is a rare wartime converted example for officer use. The cap is a textbook EM example with a BeVo eagle which has been period upgraded for officer use by adding a silver cord around the crown and a leather sweatband inside. The cap shows moderate wear with the same patina overall. The cap shows signs of having the full bevo insignia, prior to having the national cockade to be replaced by a bullion example. The cap is a medium size around 56/57. Officer caps for use with the Afrikakorps are very rare, and this is a unique example that would be a great addition to any headgear collection!
