M43 SS Panzer Cap Single Button Micheal Wittman's by EREL

WW2 German Heer M43 feldmutze cap by EREL.

Waffen SS black panzer M43 feldmutze cap with single button on the front by EREL.

This SS panzer cap differs from our other black M43 caps by having a single plastic button on the front instead of the usual 2 metal pebble buttons. The insignia is the two piece skull and eagle Bevo type which are sewn onto the front.

This style of cap was most famously worn by Micheal Wittman of the 1st SS Panzer Division in the tank battle at Villers-Bocage in Normandy.

Correct M43 wool feldmutze is made in Germany by EREL who was a wartime hat manufacture for the German army and the M43 includes quality 2 piece waffen SS insignia ,in the correct Bevo style ready sewn on.

This German made M43 cap is made by EREL and features:

• Black wool fabric.
• Single black plastic button (button has four holes for stitching it on) fastener on the front.
• Cotton liner.
• Single eyelet on each side (so two in total).
• Sides fold down and fasten under the chin for warmth in cold weather.
• Waffen SS skull in Bevo sewn onto the front.
• Waffen SS eagle and swastika sewn onto the front.

Made by EREL in Germany.

The Robert Lubstein company is better know by its brand EREL. In WW2 the EREL factory was contracted to make hats for the German military and you can still find original war time hats with the EREL mark inside them today. In fact many reference books show original war time hats made by EREL and in these books you can clearly see the EREL brand marks inside them.

Amazingly the EREL company is still making hats in Germany today! so what is better than having a reproduction German hat made by one of the original hat makers in WW2. These EREL caps are made with high quality fabrics just like the war time hats you cant really have any better.

As these hats are made in Germany, under current German laws they are not allowed to sell them with insignia on them. So we have high quality insignia made and we then have a tailor in the UK to expertly sewn the insignia on. 

So with this cap you are getting a high quality hat and high quality badges.
