I BELIEVE you have a nice original..Billbert

I don't like this one. Construction details are odd for this style and purported period of the kepi. Some of the materials used are also unusual.

It's really a beauty...no apparent evidence of wear, though it has to be well over 74 years old...! Not sure how to regard that; perhaps this kepi was "liberated" from an SA clothing store, having never been worn...? Is there any provenance with this piece?

I agree with Erich.

[wilhelm Saris]

I agree with Erich.

as far as I can give an opinion, there are too many mistakes to be a good one!

Enorepap checked the "maker"--there was an Albert Forster in Neustadt, but he retailed childrens toys.
The faker probably has a left over stamp from the company that he used to try and "legitimize" this bad cap.

[Erich B.]

Thanks for checking on that!

And why do we not suspend him from here?

[jmcm]

On eBay he says he is from Blanchard, Oklahoma, United States not West Virginia

[Gunny 249]

I wouldn't but it! These same kepi's are always on ebay.

[stonemint]

No doubt it is a fake, but is the OP the seller, and who are the people that have "looked over by lots of people and the consensus it that it is legit." ?

[jmcm]

Sent him a email on eBay and he blocked me from bidding on the fake, was going to bid then retract my bid!! He is a scammer.
