A WW2 German skull cap, otherwise known as a SS M43 cap. This wool hat is for an SS officer, it has the flatwire skull and eagle, plus flatwire piping. A rare example. Most of the skull hats collectors come across are regular white thread skull and eagles. The skull and eagle can also be put on SS overseas caps and SS fez hats. Metal eagles and skulls would be used on SS visors. The metal SS skulls and eagles look much different than the cloth SS skulls and eagles. They are not sewn on like the cloth. They have prongs that hold the skull and eagle to the hat. The deaths head skull is a symbol of the German SS. A quite intimidating symbol that I am sure terrorized many civilians and soldiers alike. This was bought from a collector’s son in California. Are you looking to sell a similar German hat? We are one of the internet’s top buyers of WW2 items.
