Panzer officer OS cap

[TONY Q.W.]

I do not like the grommet washers, so no from me...

I'll agree with Marty on that (it is only my personal opinion though).

cap grommets

I am sure there were many types of grommets used during the war by German cap makers. I find it odd that it bothers so many collectors. To each his own

This isn't a comment for or against. I have never seen a panzer cap EM or officer with such tall side flaps. It looks as though they are even over the vent hole. Maybe a style ordered special to someone's personal taste? Has anyone seen this in photographs? Also the front scallop with piping does not seem to come down as far in front. Just curious...

upgrade?

Insignia looks poorly applied and silver piping looks like it was later added. The way it's folded over looks like it was done yesterday....

The cap itself is a fake in my opinion, a very rare cap when original.

my opinion

I had a camo m40 with same washers and I think it was a good one. I like the insignia but not the way it's applied. Its hard to really tell with pics. Officer piping definatly looks recently added because fold is very new looking. Inside doesnt look like officer quality so "perhaps" it was an upgrade..
