I am looking for comments on this cap. It is currently on a dealer site, and not being a Robin Hood specialist, it looks good to me--but I have never owned an OR hat, so I am curious what others think:

BTW, C.G. Wilke was a real maker--it made Picklhauben Effekten during WWI, and was a Hutfabrik in Guben during the TR--I believe it survived the war, only to be "collectivized" by the DDR in 1950. I believe this photo of the Wilke "factory" was taken during the DDR era--please correct me if I am wrong, and add any information you might have about them:Attached FilesNEC SOLI CEDIT

Yancy and Bob--thanks for piping in on this and affirming my opinion that it is good. Someone on the GDC forum claimed it was a repro when Patrice posted it. Most fakers don't shoot for such relatively common caps, and put this degree of effort into it (ie, the hand-stitched sb, and a stamp for this specific maker.) I still like this hat, and if I collected NCO, I would have bought it in a heartbeat....NEC SOLI CEDIT
