Luftwaffe Side Cap, Opinions

[Karl S.]

Hello,
I got this today, it's the first side cap I've handled as I mainly collect visors and helmets.
Other then the insignia being discolored it's in unissued condition.
My main concern is the black lining, all the ones I've seen have grey lining. And there's no marking inside.
The color may be off in my photos but its a medium dark grey...thanks for any opinions.
Karl

Black interior??

I don't like this one. The material is course and the insignia
look like they have been artifically aged. Just my opinion.
A strange cap indeed.

Can you post a pic of it laying flat?

[PaulR]

It does not resemble any of the ones I have, in material or quality.

Please take the photos Gene has requested. He knows what he is talking about.

Can you post a pic of it laying flat?

This is the best I can do for now, should I get some daylight images?..thanks

[PaulR]

Sure!

Hi Karl,

from these images, I would personally pass. I don't see a single thing on this cap that would personally convince me other wise.

Thanks everyone, It's mine now. The guy I got it from sold me 2 nice visors last year at a good price so I'm still ahead of the game I'll probably post it on the estand as a reproduction.

I'm with Tony on this one. I looked at the close ups of the insignia on the uniform section and didn't like them. Now that I see the entire cap, I am rather sure it is all fake.

I agree !!
