Very nice, and a tough maker to find.

Congrats Tony, a very fine example.

Hi Guys, Not a "side cap" but don't know where to post it otherwise. And because it is a not so common item ... You guys probably forgive me to post it here :-)

Some sidecap eagles for reference.

1940 dated Berolina

So Gustav, how many 40 dated tropical side caps have you seen. And, have you ever seen one which was not made by Berolina?

[Gustav 43]

Two 1940 dated John,both Berolina

[Gustav 43]

...but still waiting for 1943 dated I would consider a good one

Thanks! Obviously the same here, two. So, four total?
And am still waiting on a 43 dated example as well.

I am confused

Gustav, you have shown a 1940 dated "Schellenberg" in post number 391.

Please correct me if I am wrong but it would appear that you may have 3 x 1940 caps and one is not a Berolina or may be the Schellenberg was just a cap you got to handle, or someone sent you some photos of one ?

Either way a rare cap indeed,

Chris

Correct Chris,yes I have 1940 Schellenberg too....so to be correct I saw 2 Berolina caps and one of them is in my collection and I have one 1940 dated Schellenberg too...
