Panzer Cavalry M40 Cap
I need the assistance of the forum please to authenticate this black panzer M40 side cap.
I recently put the cap on sale on the eStand and received several messages from forum members to say both the eagle and makers stamp were fake and therefore the originality of the cap in doubt.
The chap I purchased the M40 from has told me he had the cap examined by several experts - xxxxxxxx I do not know these people and would like to hear the unbiased opinions of the forum please.
If you do or don't like the cap please explain why. Please ask for further images if required.
Thank you for taking the time to view this post and your contribution is most welcome.

I don't profess to be an expert, but i did sleep in a hotel once....
I am not sure about the stamps, but what strikes me as bad right away is the eagle. The head, the bottom of the wings, the feet, and the general weave style all look wrong.
See pics below of Bevo Eagles.Last edited by seand1111; 04-14-2020, 08:51 AM.

Thank you
IMO, the hat itself may be original, but the eagle is clearly bad.
