Hi Stonement,
Wonderful example of the FAKE Derwig. They are using very nice quality wool for these caps.
Thank you,

This is the one that started all the fakers off. From the Halcomb book, circa 1990. BTW, where is this puppy now?

Here is a killer original Derwig from the former Dick V. Collection. Where is it now?

This last cap looks to be the very same that the one appearing in the Halcomb book without the edelweiss ?

Even the slight bow in the upper spiral wire on the eagle's wing is identical. The chincord is also uncommonly turned left.

Good eyes, guys. It is the same one, although now sans eidelweiss.

Finally got this puppy in my grubby little hands--a textbook Derwig (actually made by Hoffmann, ie Berolina). Enjoy:
