Reproduction & superior quality German U-Boat Kreigsmarine Chief Engineers Peaked cap. This cap has been made to look 70+ years old and comes with a free zinc Nurnberg coat of arms plaque!

U-453 sunk 10 ships, damaged 2 and incapacitated 1 Warship. It was sunk on the 21st of May 1944 in the Ionian Sea north-east of Cape Spartivento, by depth charges from the British destroyers HMS Termagent and HMS Tenacious and the British escort destroyer HMS Liddesdale. One crewman was killed and 51 survived.

The peak, liner and chinstrap etc. all show good wear and both the inside and outside are  oil stained and aged. Notice the gold emblem and officers peak ranking are dark and tarnished. The top is non-removable.

The 'boot' emblem is a Nürnberg 'Angel' crest and the City of Nurnberg coat of arms.

This is a high quality aged Engineer Officers peaked Hat commanded by U-Boat Captains: 

Kptlt. Gert Hetschko, Kptlt. Egon Reiner Freiherr von Schlippenbach (Knights Cross) and Oblt. Dierk Lührs.
