I would like to hear your opinions on this cap , before i put it on E-stand.

Better pics of the stitching on the national insignia would help - nevertheless my first impression based on the pics provided: reapplied. Secondly, based on the fact I see little evidence of interaction between the badge and the cap I would assume that the 116 badge was added at a later date - but also here better pics of the prongs and cap area would help. The shape of the cap itself and its wear is very attractive.

Hat looks OK to me..I think the insignia may be the original machine sewing but it has been repaired in some places by hand sewing.

Better pics would tell.

I agree, looks good to me as well. Agree some repairs may have been made. Original insignia and hat imho.

Original cap. Need better pictures of the insignia what's interesting is the cap turned brown in places. I had one like that once not sure what could have caused the wool to turn like that.

Attractive cap Lenny. Did you spill you coffee again?

Nice original cap but the trap has been reapplied and what looks like machine stitching are in fact stitches made by hand trying to replicate machine stitching made with a seeing machine....nothing that’s unheard of.
