Attractive - and rarely encountered! - replacement-piece: a WH (Heeres) 'tropical-issued' cocarde as used on the tropical side- (and/or 'M41'-type) caps as executed in neat 'BeVo'-weave pattern and that comes in a clearly cap-removed condition
This is a very desirable and actually quite rarely encountered replacement-piece: a WH (Heeres) 'tropical-issued' cocarde (ie. 'Mützenkokarde') as used on the tropical side- (and/or 'M41'-type) caps as executed in neat 'BeVo'-weave pattern on a light-brown (ie. tan-) coloured background and that comes in a moderately used- and/or clearly cap-removed condition. The cocarde was clearly used (and confectioned ie. trimmed!) and just shows some moderate wear, age and/or slight staining: moreover, does it still shows some of the stitching-holes with which it was once cap-attached (as can be seen on the pictures). It should be mentioned that these tropical cocardes as executed in the 'BeVo'-weave pattern rank amongst the most difficult to obtain cocardes of the period. Simply one of those insignia-pieces that are almost impossible to find if needed!
