Thanks for the extra photos.


I was looking for a picture of the reverse of the front flaps (where the 2 front buttons are located)

Are those RZM marks on the buttons?

Hi John, don't worry about the presence of RZM marked buttons on a Heer cap. This is not unknown. I have a Heer Officers Einheitsfeldmutze (Veteran acquired) which has these too.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for that info. I would have considered it a possible red flag but could see how a private tailor would utilize what he had on-hand. The funny thing is, I can't think of a party-affiliated group who would use peppled buttons like that on a cap????

There are RZM marks on the buttons. It could be possible.
Originality of a cap not depends on the buttons.
Otherwise, these 13 picture could be enough to say this cap good or not.
And I think it's a very typical, original cap!

Very nice cap you have there! RZM was somethimes used on quality items of the Wehrmacht, you often see RZM dagger hangers in officers jackets.

Nice one!

Looks like a beautiful Officer's private purchase Bergm******252;tze to me!!!

As to RZM buttons, I have no problems with those on the cap. I use to work at the RZM Headquarters in M******252;nchen from 1987-91 when it housed the AAFES-Europe Headquarters and was known as McGraw Kaserne. Since tailors would be getting supplies from RZM to make uniforms and caps, I don't think they would be concerned about a button being from there or another source...a button is a button.

I like it as well.

Thank you for positive opinions.
You're right Patrick, a button is a button!

A few points seem unusual to me: shape, as mentioned above, appears a bit 'off'; I also wouldn't expect to see a hat made from (presumably) early quality wool with officer's silver piping (a later war feature); and the oversize unit markings are not something that I can recall having seen before in a cap of this type. Are there other markings? As was said previously, it would be helpful to have this example in hand to make a more accurate determination but I would not give 100% approval based on the images alone.
