POLICE WINTER FUR CAP
Awesome Police Winter Fur Cap in great condition. This cap features the Police blue/grey wool for the main body of the cap. Dark Rabbit Fur covers the outside and the ear flaps. The dark fur was used by the police. There is some minor soiling to the the wool but no holes or serious issues. The rabbit fur is tight to the cap with no bare spots or problems. There is a killer looking 2nd Pattern Aluminum Police Eagle attached to the front. The ear flaps are secured to the top with the original black cord. The inside is lined in grey HBT which shows just minor wear and sweat staining. There is a perfect stamp in the center of the lining with an RB Number size 58 and a date of 1944. This is just a beauty of a cap and a must have for any collector! They both came out of John Angolia's collection of headgear. This one is in Uniforms, Organization & History of the German Police Volume 1 Page 659
