HJ cap

[rajbrns]

Hello everybody,

I've bought this cap around 10/11 years ago when I just started collecting WW2 items.
Back then I didn't bother to read any books, didn't ask the opinion from more experienced collectors and didn't do any research on the internet.
So when I got the chance to buy this HJ cap for only €30 on a flea market I didn't hesitate.
When time passed I learned more about prices, compared it with different HJ caps and got convinced it's a reproduction.

Could anyone confirm my thoughts about this cap?

It's a combination of a Civil cap with a RBN number what normally ( if it was a real HJ cap ) a RZM label should have. So I say no.

Thanks Kurt!

Maybe anybody else?

I think it should look like this but I'm not sure.....

Could be like this one.....

I'm certainly no expert on the subject of HJ wintermutze but every specimen I've seen thus far incorporates either buttons or a buckle to retain the side flaps when not in use.

Well, I had a cap before with both ends sewn together.

Take a look at the right top corner with the gold button.

But this cap isn't good.

That is a very impressive collection you have amassed Kurt, very nice indeed.

Hats off to you Kurt Meyer.
