m/22 Leather Cap for "drivers of various vehicles". This hat is in excellent condition, hardly used with little wear and tear. The hat seems to have never had a cockade worn on it, but still has the post 1943 SA-stamp indicating it saw use, at least to some extend. The number "132." written on the liner is of unknown origin.

History of the hat is unknown, but it has seen military service at least until 1943. It is most likely somehow related to the Armour Brigade, as it belongs to the Parola Armour Museum. collection.
