Luftwaffe Officer's Hat Question

[Bob Hritz]

Is there a Luft officer's hat with the word "Luftwaffe' on the celluloid sweat sheld? I saw a lovely hat and did not buy it because I have never seen that word among the logo wording.

The hat looked correct, in all aspects, and had the inner 'beading' around the perimeter of the leather sweat band, between the leather and the wool body. I lmpw Janke hats have this, but do original hats feature this extra beading also?

Can anyone elaborate and post a photo of such a hat?

Thank you,
Bob Hritz

Bob, do you mean caps marked with "Verkaufsabteilung der Luftwaffe"? If so, there's been quite a few shown here on the forum. Here's my Clemens Wager cap. It also has the beading.
