This is a nice original Heer Winter Fur Cap (Pelzmutze).  These winter caps were a standard issue item and were distributed to all EM/NCOs for the winter season, (15 September to 15 April), with other winter garments and were to be returned to the units clothing depot in April for repair, cleaning and storage to be re-issued the following September.  Although there was no official standard model for the fur cap, the most commonly encountered followed the basic pattern of the M-43 caps with fold down back and side panels designed to protect the wearer’s ears and neck.  The inside lining is quilted rayon which is in excellent condition though soiled from wear. The stamps in the liner are some what faded and smeared, but contain the maker mark and size “56”. Overall Excellent++. .
