Marine-HJ Leader's Peaked Cap.

A good example of a Marine-HJ Leader's peaked cap. Very similar in form to that of a Kriegsmarine officer but with the gilt wreath replaced by silver bullion and the HJ diamond replacing the national rosette. The eagle is of party form with residual silvering to the zinc construction. HJ diamond has two stress marks where it has been bent to match the contours of the wreath but is intact with no enamel loss. Slight crackling to patent leather strap which is secured by silvered buttons. Interior retains the stiff plastic protective diamond with a faux silk lining. Leather effect headband with a couple of areas of stitching that has failed. Wool body in moth free, undamaged condition. Uncommon HJ item.
