looks like a nice Tobbens made cap with removed insignia,a harder to find manufacturer IMO

Hey Guys,

In searching for more information about the manufacturor BEROLINA, I ended up in this thread.
What's been said here about the tropical cap stamps is very intetesting, because my interest goes to tropical.

So when I take all the opinions and thoughts about how the BEROLINA cap should be, I can conclude this:
- The BEROLINA stamp with the correct "9" as mentioned before is the most trusted one.
- Birro/pencil is a not to be trusted way to represent the size.
- The wrong "9" stamped caps are all dated 1942
- The wrong "9" stamped caps are all faded in the same way

What I also saw and concluded by myself from this thread, other threads, and sellers is that the "not to be trusted by the stamp" caps all have the same structure:
- They al have the same bright tan color
- The cap eagle is also the same (very light washed orange backing, couldn't find a better way to express the color )
- The eagles are attatched at the same way (this is likely less important)
- And the distance between the eagle and the top of the cap is a little bit larger than other caps, even from BEROLINA'S whit the right "9".

I say again, it's just my opinion and this could just be possible.
So don't shoot me if I'm wrong

Regards,
Yannick

Ack, these Berolina stamps are maddening... Gene, what do you think of this one. Compares to some not to others. 1941.
