Just a beautiful cap. I love the more generic private-purchase caps by Haug, and Halfar, and Hoffman, etc. But it is very refreshing, now and then, to see a REAL private-purchase cap for the enlisted ranks.

Hi LDR,Originally posted by LDR View Post
a triple marked Erel is when a cap has the liner marking, the sweatband marking and the cardboard advert still attached to the celluloid. These are rare as the card was supposed to be taken off after purchase. I have owned a heavily worn infantry officer erel that still had the card in.
The forum recently agreed on the Quad marked Erel, this being all of the above, PLUS a distributor marked on the liner. One of these was shown.
All in all, this is the most outrageous NCO cap I have seen. The most interesting part of this cap is that it has "All the whistles and bangs" yet it is a STANDARD klasse quality.
We are starting to see a lot of STANDARDS that have double markings and vented cockades so soon the view that the STANDARD Klass is rare with the add ons will have to be reviewed.
I own at least 4 standards that have the double markings and air vent grommets and vented cockades fitted.

Hi Carlo, many thanks for your comment. without a pic no one would believe it. I still kick myself when I handle it, it is out of this world.
Flak is often seen as a poor waffenfarbe, but I love the red pipers. These guys had big pop guns to play with aswell as the small ones.
The cap proves that anything is possible, it just has to be right though.
