The service or uniform cap was a peaked cap with field grey cover,black cap band and black leather visor.The cap band for officers was a black velvet and a black wool for enlisted men.Officers and Standartenoberjunker wore a double silver cap cord fastened with matt silver buttons.NCOS wore a black lether strap fastened by two black buttons.Waffenfarbe appeared above and below the cap band and around the crown of the cap for officers and enlisted men.Waffen SS generals wore caps with silver piping.
The Waffen SS eagle in matt silver metal was worn on the upper front portion of the cap and a matt silver SS Totenkopf was worn in the front centre of the cap band.Non-SS eagles were sometimes worn,such as cloth or metal Army eagles,NSDAP eagles,etc.,probably through lack of supplies.
Although against regulations,many Waffen SS personnel of all ranks removed the rigid cap spring in order to give their peaked cap a jauntier shape.
