m/36 Field HatType: m/36 Field Hat (Kenttälakki m/36) Material: Mixed wool, rayon liner, burlap sweatband Manufacturer: Unknown Manufacturing year: ~1944 Markings: No markings A well used m/36 Field Hat, late war manufacture. While the pattern is pretty much that of your average m/36 hat, the construction is hasty and the materials are of poor quality. The liner is most likely repurposed tunic liner and the sweatband is a simple burlap band. All in all, everything points to a very late manufacturing date. The user of the hat is unknown as is the history of the hat. The badge on the side points toward the Armour Division. It is a well worn example of an enlisted man or of an NCO. This hat belongs to the collection of Parola Armour Museum. |
