WW2 Submarine Officers U-Boat Cap U-453 Obersteuermann Schubert

U-453 Obersteuermann Schubert Cap
U-453 Obersteuermann Schubert Cap
Reproduction German U-Boat Submarine Blue Topped Peaked cap with 70+ years of ageing and numerous dark & worn and tarnished areas as worn by Obersteuermann Schubert of U-453. This cap is based on an original in the Deutsches U-Boot Museum - Germany.

Here is a link to the original u-boot cap.

The peak, liner and chinstrap etc. all show good wear and both the inside and outside are heavily oil stained and aged. Notice the gold emblem and officers peak ranking are dark and tarnished. The cap has a stylised 'Angel' badge which was the crew emblem and a hand made 'mickey mouse' badge - why? We do not know!

Notice the final picture below - second crew member from the right, it looks like the same badge. This could be Schubert prior to him adding a mickey mouse badge.

The chinstrap has the kills/damages cut & marked in the leather.

The
inner headband is ersatz leather (fake leather), just like many originals had. This is a high quality aged peaked Hat from a U-Boat Officer with an outstanding war record.  Email us if you want one made to your specification!

Full worldwide insurance is included within the Postal charges, this protects you the buyer!

U-453 had a very interesting war service, you can find its service record summarised here.
