I think the " it has a running against the wind " shape is not a good point to give a cap a thumbs down IMO..
I just name fighter ace Erich Hartmann, who had the highest point of his visor sewn or pinned to the top/deck, I've seen several others who messed up their cap to give it a tough appearance, some even pulled the whole cloth part aside to give it a baret look..
Another point is theremovable eagle, it can be fake while the cap is OK, it can be fake and also the cap, or it can be good with a fake cap...

I told Ben when he had it that I could see no real problem with it. I still don’t see a real problem with it. I have seen another late Schellenberg with a canvas, cloth type cap (gray). I had it in hand. It was right as rain. I am not ruling this one out.

I can't remember does this one have a front seam? I am pretty sure it did as I would have said no way otherwise.

Here is a crusher on estand in the material I seen on that late Schellenberg. By the way, nice crusher. http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=306513

The material that it is constructed from is a very thin silk/rayon in pale grey, i would not know how to post the link it was disscused on, maybe Benvk can help with that. As stated earlier i sold the cap a while back, and was then offered the chance to by it back which of coarse i did, but the owner had sent the cap to a hat maker in london to add a new sweatband because the old pressed paper band had perished and someone had added a thick wool band instead which didn't look to good. I would say that the cavalry crusher for sale on estand is of a heavier material compared to mine. I now have it for sale on German Collectibles.
