I don't like it

Nor do I, looks like a genuine tropical KM sidecap with added fake Luftwaffe insignia. Gian, in my experience, Balke did not manufacture Luftwaffe caps.

Hi John!
Both LW insigna are fake?

Hi John!
Both LW insigna are fake?
Gian.

In my opinion, yes Gian, bad insignia. But would have to hand inspect the cockade to be certain about it.

is this stamp legit ?

hello Sirs ,
I need your opinion regarding this stamp , I have a trade on my way and me and sidecap's owner are trying to figure out if is legit and if can be considered easy to find ( i.e. as Berolina ) or rarer .
thank you in advance
Paolo

Another Berolina stamp from a winter fur cap, which makes it relevant to this thread. The marking's font is the style found in caps with solid provenance.
