A Kriegsmarine Sommer Tellermütze für Mannschaften by Spechtmeyer Cuxhaven. It is constructed out of a white cotton and navy blue doe skin wool, with a black silk and gold gilt machine embroidered cap tally and navy blue piping surrounded the tally and white piping to the crown. The very front features a die stamped, tombak based, gold gilded navy cap eagle above a national tri-color multi piece cockade. There are six navy blue twisted ropes (one to each sides, two to the very back and two on 45 degree angles right near them) that hold the machine embroidered gold and black “Kriegsmarine” cap tally. he interior has leather sweat bank with a pearl white rope running through it that ends at a bowtie to the back. The interior base features a light green silk lining. Underneath the clear diamond moisture shield it is maker marked, in blue: “W. Spechtmeyer Cuxhaven Hindenburgstraße 16”. There is one black soil mark to the very top, minor age toning throughout and some holes around the crown edge. A very nice piece.
