#10700-R.A.D. ENLISTED WINTER FIELD CAP: Sharp looking example of the cap worn by the enlisted ranks of the Reichsarbeitsdienst (National Labor Service). for winter service and skiing. Introduced in 1942, the cap is produced of heavy “earth” brown wool having a functional front flap that secures with a single button. The front has a well-defined “Pinched” look and a neatly hand applied RAD badge of thick machine embroidery on brown wool. The interior is lined with light brown cotton twill with no visible markings remaining. This pattern of cap should not be confused with the M43 style field cap that utilizes a two-button front and has bridles under the side flaps (this example rightfully does not). This example shows use with light wear, several “bumps” in the visor and soiling that is mainly confined to the interior. A fairly scarce cap in Condition II- $575.00
