WW2 German Forestry Peak Cap Hat Size 56 1/2 Early

The WW2 German Forestry Peak Cap Hat, Size 56 1/2, is an original piece of early Third Reich headgear associated with the German forestry service. The cap features a traditional high front peak (visor), field-grey wool body, and dark green velvet cap band, consistent with early period specifications. It typically includes national and cockade insignia, along with a twisted silver and green chin cord that denotes the forestry official rank. The peak is constructed from black vulcanized fiber. The interior is lined with light-colored cotton or rayon, and the sweatband is made from leather. As an item originating from the early years of World War II, it reflects the specific uniform regulations enforced during that period. This type of headwear was issued to members of the German forestry service, who held both civilian and military responsibilities within the broader structure of the Reich’s administrative organizations. This cap is in Size 56 1/2, suitable for collectors and historians examining period-specific uniform elements.
