What are your thoughts on this cap?

At best, a private purchase cap. At worst, a complete repro. Can we see the interior of the air vent grommets, and under the sweatband?
Regards,
Mark.
PS - NOT AFRIKAKORPS at all.

looks similar to a cap BenVK had sometime last year close up shot would help indeed

Would look believable for a private purchase one, but have to see a closeup on the gromets. Also If you could make a photo of the inside front, with the sweatband flapped down.

I´ve asked the seller for better pictures. I will post them here as soon as I got them.

Mine was very similar, no grommets though. The seller of mine said it came from a vet who served in Italy. Whether that's true or not I don't know but I had no issues with my cap. It just felt right if you know what I mean. Nice to see another with the same construction traits. Field made? Italian tailor? Don't know but I like them!

Sweatband could have been from the same cut of leather.

Here are some other pics the seller sent me. Unfortunatelly nt the inside of the grommets...

Well, Depending on price, I'd actually take a punt on this one. The sweatband shows wear as I'd like to see it, the button holes look to be hand sewn (a nice detail) and all fading/wear is consistant. It has a lot of character and I'd like to examine it if I had the chance.
Good Luck ,
Mark.
