The jaunty mountain cap (Bergmütze) used by the German Jäger, Ski-Jäger, and Gebirgsjäger troops of World War II was a further development of the various mountain caps used by Bavarian, Prussian, and Austrian Jäger troops during World War I. The earlier caps had been developed from civilian mountain caps dating back into the 1800's. This cap also was issued to ski-rifle troops and light infantry (Jäger) troops and photos exist showing Rommel wearing one while skiing as commander of the Goslar Jäger Battalion during the 1930's. It was the forerunner of the extremely popular M43 field cap.
The metal Edelweiß badge on the left side denoted Gebirgsjäger and a similar metal badge of oakleaves was worn in the same spot by the Jäger troops. Oak leaves and skis identified members of Skijäger units.
We sell this cap without the eagle/cocade and Edelweiß badge. If you want Gebirgsjäger insignias sew, please select the correct option.
The visor is 6 cm.
We are extremely pleased, as the exclusive distributor for the successors to the Robert Lubstein factory.
The Robert Lubstein company is better know by its brand EREL. In WW2 the EREL factory was contracted to make hats for the German military and you can still find original war time hats with the EREL mark inside them today. In fact many reference books show original war time hats made by EREL and in these books you can clearly see the EREL brand marks inside them.
Amazingly the EREL company is still making hats in Germany today! so what is better than having a reproduction German hat made by one of the original hat makers in WW2. These EREL caps are made with high quality fabrics just like the war time hats you cant really have any better.
As these hats are made in Germany, under current German laws they are not allowed to sell them with insignia on them. So we have high quality insignia made and we then fix the insignia onto the cap in Spain.
So with this cap you are getting a high quality hat and high quality badges.
