This is a high-quality reproduction of the WWII German Afrika Korps (DAK) M40/M41 tropical field cap, worn by Heer troops serving in North Africa from 1941 onward. Made in tan cotton drill for hot climate service, the cap features the national eagle and cockade insignia to the front. Faithfully reproduced using correct materials and construction, this is an accurate historical field cap and not a cheap copy.
