Luft tropical overseas cap

[Gene]

The yellow thread was applied by the original owner to keep the flaps tight to the cap's body

Interesting, thanks Gene.

What's your thoughts on all these stamps now I've put them all together for comparrison?

[Gene]

As for Berolina stamps, I like all the ones in posts 131 and 135, plus the ones I've posted of course

[BenVK]

That's cheating mate, you liked the bottom one in post 136 until you saw the cap it was in!

[Gene]

When was it originally posted? Initially I liked those mint Berolina caps with inked size stamps but now I don't like them at all.

[BenVK]

Post 22. I was cheating a bit too Gene, made the photo black and white.

Anyway, the cap maker "ALMI" just came up on the forum and a quick search turned up this cracker. I really like this one!

Killer. So is Steve's Schellenberg cap

One thing stands out like a sore thumb in this thread for me and from searching this forum and the web.

Not one single salty used and abused cap, sweat stained cap.

My well used Hollandia cap

Now you've got my undivided attention. Interior?

Ben,

I have four LW Tropical caps. Although I haven't taken very good pics of them, they are all worn and used which is how I like my LW Tropical.

The Brammer I own has stains on it that have been claimed to be blood stains. Not sure if this is true or not.

My goal is to take some quality photo's of these caps and post them for reference. The photo's I have posted thus far stink.

Here is my Brammer. I compared what's left of the cap's stamp to another Brammer and they appear to be one in the same. I'll let you guys decide what the stains are.

Hopefully these pictures are better quality than the others I've taken.

I plan on shooting the others as time permits.
