My Minty M40 Tropical cap

[Manu Della Valle]

My "(very)poor man's" tropenmutze!It's the only one I kept and have got and nothing to compare to Dermot's or to write home about,still a nice Mid-War Tropenmutze!
The eagle and cockade are zig-zag stitched,the grommets are grommets,the lining is red,the stamps are black and the outside is green just like me when I look at Dermot's tropenmutze!
Cheers
Manu

Thanks Ham,
but after Dermot's sun-bleached cap this one is nothing that would set the Thames on fire,I'm afraid!

Hi Manu,

Your cap is a fantastic example of a later M40 tropical peaked cap.

Hi Manu

Beautiful tropenmutze 

[Manu Della Valle]

Thank you Mav and Dermot,but it's nothing to write home about when compared to Dermot's and the ones I used to have and that I've regrettably sold!

Lovely mutze, probably unissued by the minty condition, and still a very nice piece even so.
