Panzer Sidecap II

[Daniele C]

Hello,

This one is another example of Panzer sidecap I Have.
I restored with original insignia and origina Period black thread!

Soutache period removed,it comes out from a fleamarket near Leipzig

Very well Marked and dated 1940,Size 56

Condition is super
95% of Nap still present,green vent holes paint is fully there,the Soldier added a central seam on the liner to give that typical Narrow look to the cap(some soldiers added a PIN)


Thinking of putting it on estand but lets see and think about it first!


Cheers

Daniele

Thanks P-Y,Richard and Glenn,

Richard, i already torn apart the lining from the rest of the hat when i dyed this as well black ...

...of course, but after you unstitched all the seams, took apart both rivets, dyed with a nice black varnish, restitched the seams and remount the rivets!
It's symply and it cames a good work!
