EAST GERMAN ARMY OFFC. OVERSEAS CAP LIKE NEW

Genuine East German Army (NVA) officer's overseas cap in like-new condition — an authentic piece of Cold War military issue straight from original surplus stocks. The classic "Schiffchen" (little boat) silhouette, olive uniform cloth, and embroidered DDR national emblem on the side make this an immediately recognizable artifact of the Nationale Volksarmee and a strong seller for any shop catering to collectors, reenactors, and military-history enthusiasts.

Authentic Cold War Issue

Worn by NVA officers as everyday garrison and field headwear, the overseas cap folds flat for easy carry in a pocket or under a shoulder board and pops back into shape when worn. Because these come from original government stocks in unworn, like-new condition, you're stocking the real article — not a modern interpretation — with crisp seams, clean cloth, and a sharply embroidered cockade.
