Swedish M1937-65 with M1960
cover of the second type, with velcro instead of buttons for securing
the 'veil' in folded or unfolded position. The veil's purpose is to
provide some NBC protection. The peak is in the correct position. In
photos you often see it folded uppwards and secured under the veil, as
many soldiers found the peak obstructing. Myself being a cavalry
soldier, I remember that habit was considered common, and
consequently punished... This cover is stamped "1963 CBV". |

These pictures show details

buttons, and the second type with velcro. |
