HG-14 Winter Beret Top with Bundeswehr Crash
Helmet
This is a really unusual and interesting piece! The fur top is
of the same type as used for the Pelzmütze – a very nice four-panel fur top
with wide earflaps that fold up over the top center. The fur is a magnificent
salt and pepper tan, light brown and white pelt. The fur is attached to a
greyish-green rayon lining, with no other backing. There is no field grey wool
covering over the head area – nothing but the rayon, with the fur added to the
rayon at the usual places. This cover was meant to fit over the Panzer crash
helmet in place of a beret. Unfortunately, there is no authentic crash helmet
available so I have substituted a Bundeswehr (modern German Army) crash helmet
which is essentially the same size as the WWII version with the modern beret
cover cut down, so that the fur and rayon top will nicely fit over and around
it. A very unique item, in excellent condition with the tie string and buttons
on the flaps. Very collectible.
