Seen This RBN# ?

[Sayle F]

Does anyone have a cap with this RBN # in it or have you seen another?

[Vincent S.]

I have. I believe it was in a black Pz Einheitsfeldmütze. I have no problem with this stamp as to being original.

Correct me if I am wrong, but according to my files, this is the RBNr for Vereinigte Bekleidungswerke R. & A. Becker GmBH, located in Saarbrücken.

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the info. This is also a Pz Einheitsfeldmütze. A small head needed for this cap.

Are there any good reference books for rbn numbers ?

[Vincent S.]

Not yet I have covered them thoroughly in my book, but decided not to elaborate on all RBNr's. I chose only to incorporate the basic information on their structure and meaning, and this only of military-related RBNr's. RBNr's were in use by all sort of firms, going from wholesale companies to electricity and gas distributors...

Kind Regards,

Well...I guess this cap is a genuine Army panzer M-43 cap since photos were posted and no comments followed? Fakes are usually followed by a barrage of fake...not for my collection....I could entertain a doubt...etc.

Congratulations on finding a fairly rare piece of desirable panzer headgear!!

I will also add...For my collection!!!!

I'd take it but, the swastika offends me. Can you put a different bird on it?
