Markings in a DAK Side Cap

[Albert]

Hi Guys,

What the heck are all those numbers for??? (not talking about the size and RB#)

43 could be the date but the rest???

Thanks and best regards,

Albert

43 is date for sure..other numbers are probably run/lot numbers or possibly lago/run numbers..Billbert

Good question, I have often wondered that and to-date have never meet any-one who knew for sure.

My theory so far is that they are two sets of RB numbers as part of a Lago-type manufactured cap.
The 43 part is the year of manufacture however.

What do others think ? Chris

Not sure of the "extra" numbers but I surmise the hat is a "Hans Brandt" Manufacture.

The other spots a similiar style occurs is in some HJ flak caps and an occasional LW m43 ...Billbert

Gentlemen, thank you very much!

Oops, double post to the above. So might as well introduce the face of the side cap:

Yes, I believe a "Hans Brandt" manufacture.
