Delicious hat, rare with the armed recon piping and typcal later war features. J

It's a franky, made of original and fake parts.

May I know why you are so convinced that?

Apparently, not so delicious . . .

Could be - but . . .

And not so certain about this. Strange logo (heat embossed?), and awful wavy . . .

Most of the parts are original, just not the piping...

RUN!

I'm not seeing it. Where is the evidence of that in these pics?

If you steam/ iron/ block a visor hat back into shape, the celluloid sweat diamond can sometimes crinkle and go wavy.

However, I understand what you are referring to, post-war sweat diamonds made from plastic are soft and wavy. Would have to hold the hat to be able to say more.

I have no issues with this hat being a put-together Frankenstein if that is what the hat experts declare it to be. There is a good profit to be made by constructing a believable brown piped visor hat post-war.

Watching this thread and the other thread http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru....php?t=1036579 with interest to see what is decided,
