Waffen-SS Reversible Camouflage Hood

Waffen-SS Oakleaf 'B' camouflage/white reversible hood (Eichenlaubmuster B Tarnungs Kopfhaube/Winterhaube). The winter hoods were a standard issue item and were distributed to all EM/NCO's for the winter season, (15 September to 15 April), with other winter garments and were to be returned to the units clothing depot in April for storage, repair and cleaning to be re-issued the following September. The oakleaf camouflage pattern was originally developed in 1941 and was utilized through out the duration of the war for a wide variety of garments. The hood is size '57'. The hood is complete with its original tie string. Nice original example in good used condition!
