Martin, the eagle on your cap is similar to a design that has always bothered me. Perhaps Archivist Jos can help and find a period photo of this one. It is also unusual to see the cockade sewn so high in a wide double button example. Not saying bad, but the insignia is not a "one looker."

Hi John,thanks to your opinion.
Please do you think the cap is fake too ?
Cheers,
Martin.

No Martin, so far the cap looks ok. May we see the lining and some details of the "loops" and the lining behind the insignia.

Merci,
John

Thanks for posting your caps Tony and Eric. Tony, I like that machine sewn insignia. Do either of you have any Luftwaffe tropical caps?

Regards,
John

Hi John,

Don't have any tropical caps;a hole in the collection I that I'm trying to fill.

Thanks,
Tony

Martin, your cap seems good to me, but I am not the best specialist.
I have no more EM M 43, only an officer one :

Nice summer weight late war. I have the same one. Same stiching. Not zigzaged. What color is your linning material? Mine is a brassish brown satinette.
