This cap needs to be discussed in the head gear section.

Could we also see some photos of what should be significant natural wear to the lining?

Moved from Estand.

Looks bad to me as well,fake grommets etc.

I now see that Cliff, to his credit, posted this cap in here yesterday for opinions and none were given.

A post-war cap with artificial aging, IMO.

Swiss zelt camo material I believe. Kind of cool though.

Hi Steve, I don't think it is Swiss. Some of the pics do seem to have the typical Swiss "mottling", but I'm thinking that is dirt/wear.

Here is a good thread showing the differences between German and Swiss.

The construction of this cap resembles the WSS M-42 cap, not a good sign for a fieldmade Wehrmachtcap. From the pictures, I have doubts.

Best regards, Tom

thanks

Thanks for the opinions. I did post it for discusstion first. I've had a lot of M$@s and 43s. In hand this really looks like honest wear. I thought at first it might have been a zelt chopped up but many spots in hat show real head wear and signs it was worn while in form of hat.
