KM officier Cap

[Stephan]

Hi Guys,
thanks for your panzer cap explication
I have a good vibration for this Km cap, the interior is nice, and the sweatband hold, I think a good one, but rare cap and good ?
Great question...
thanks
Stephan.

Hey it's a 58. I think this is a very odd looking thing that has some issues. I don't like the size tag. The stitching around the sweatshield is gratuitous, makes no sense to me. Under peak looks wrong, crosshatched. The KM visors I've seen almost always have a pebbled texture. Ancient wreath and cockade, newer looking and unusual chinstrap. Looks all put together to me.

oh boy! These are just coming out of the woodwork. Yet another horrible fake cap

That sweatshield sure looks plastic. The problem with KM visors is that they were made almost immediately following the end of the war, but for Wasserschutzpolizei and Wasserzoll--so a lot of these hats are now almost as old as their Third Reich brethern. (They did not use the embroidered visor, but the standard KM NCO visor.)
Here is a recent example:

Here is an older Wasserschutzpolizei cap--just channge the Wreath, and replace the star with an eagle, and you then have one that is practically indistinguishable from an original.

And to the new KM collector, this is an easy sale. Thanks for showing this
