NCOs field grey woollen peaked service cap : German Army

German Army NCO's field grey woollen peaked service cap (dienstmutze). The cap has red piping in the seam between the panel that forms the crown and the panels below it. It has a metal national cockade on the front near the top but the state cockade that should be below it is missing. The red silk hat band has been covered by another, which is made from grey cotton, and is secured at the back with a long narrow vertical buckle. There is a small black button on both sides, just behind the rear most point of the black patent leather peak. A chin strap should be attached to the buttons but it is missing. The headband is made from brown rubberised canvas. The cap is lined with blue polished cotton.
