Hi guys

I'm still composing my 7.Freiwilligen Gebirgs Division der Waffen XX "Prinz Eugen" impression and a doubt apeared.

Can i use an NCO Schirmmütze with infanterie piping or have i to try and find one with the proper piping!?

If so i'm screwed 'cause it's preaty hard to find those in bright green :roll:

Best regards

I'm guessing here (hopefully someone with more knowledge will confirm / deny it), but I would think green piping would be correct.

If you can't find a green one you could try the old trick of buying a white piped one and colouring it with a green pen.

Why not just use an SS Bergmutze or generic oakleaf(or peadot if thats what you like) field cap with your loadout? Thats what I'm using for my 7th SS loadout...

Peadot (Dot 44) field caps are pretty much a fantasy items - a bit like Palm Tree helmet covers!

And by late 1941 all piping trim was in white anyway..on crushers and such.
