Visor field caps partial sweatband ?

[Ernst-H]

Here is a question that has been in my mind for some time now.

Here are a few pictures of Visored field cap interiors (all polizei) that I found on the internet over the years. These, almost identical, interiors can be found on Bergmutzen as well as on M43 Einheitsmutzen

All appear to be unissued.

None give me a good feeling.

What are others opinions about these partial liners?

thanks

Are these the traits of a particular manufacturer that first made Bergmutzen and later on went to produce the Einheitsmutze with identical wool lining and identical partial sweatband?

But I cannot recall seeing a wool lined, partial sweatband, visored fieldcap that was really worn and definately original. All seem to be brand new.

If I am wrong in my assumption that these are not good please show me.


thanks

Ernst,

One thing I know for certain is that quite a few reproduction caps with this exact kind of half liner came out of Europe a few years ago. This same partial sweatband (with the same embossed markings) can be found on a lot of the fake police soft caps including the Schiffchen. These partial leather sweatbands always make me look very closely.
