Hitlerjugend and Jungvolk caps

Hi,
I wonder what type are those two caps. Are they winter caps?
Best,

Civilian caps being passed off as HJ caps IMO. I would not want either of those caps in a collection.

Thanks for yours opinions. As far as I know they were not messed with. Is it possible they are just civilian caps with added HJ and Jungvolk badges?

Yes.

I agree, civilian caps with added insignia.
Never saw the "DJ" insignia in wear on a cap ever.

Thanks everyone for opinion. Is it possible that the caps are WWII era?

Typical postwar ski caps cut for both of them .

Yes, see this thread. Chris has written an excellent tutorial on HJ Ski Caps here.
