Fleamarket found: KM/BM Overseas Cap

[Kimbrian]

Hello,

I just came back from a flea market where I found this, to me, interesting looking overseas cap which I´m not sure about. I´d appreciate any comments on it and from my guess, it might be very early Bundesmarine.

Edit: Material is rough wool, dark blue near black sewn by cotton thread.

Best regards,

Kimb.

Inside out, shows clear signs of wear and appears to be artificial silk:

Hallo Kimber,
I found a very similar one this morning on a Flea Market too.
Take a look on my post "KM O/C NEED YOUR OPINION".

Oh,

I must have been blind, they look very similiar, indeed. Thanks for your advice!
So this might also be a KM cap.

Further comments are still appreciated

Regards,

Kimb

From what I can tell it appears to be KM. The blue lining makes me think so.

The cut and the style is OK for a KM cap, the lining is also not rare on a KM sidecap, but I don't like the fabric and the shadow of the cocarde is not what I would expected to see.

Thank you for your opinions, gentlemen.

Eduardo:

An additional photo of the cap´s side. Maybe the fabric just looks odd because of the faded colors and rubbed-off material.
In addition I placed an old Bundeswehr cocade on it and it perfectly matches the cocade´s shadow. So maybe an old KM cap used up by the Bundesmarine or very early BM. Anyway thank you for your help again.





Kind regards,

Kimb

Kimb, thanks for the update. Yes it looks as a BM cap, anyway looks nice.
