Hello,
with all respect, calling this Feldmüze 34/35 "near mint" is a bit too much.
A lot of nap wear (i don't like some) , some repairs....
Please when you receive it, post pictures showing the grommets from inside ?
"near mint" items play a division above IMO.

[m-e-h-t]

would you point out the repair, please. I did not recognized that. Is it the approaches in pic 4?

[D Davies]

I think the repair is in pic 4 at the back end of the cap.
Cheers
Dave.

maybe size modification ?
anyway, more pics would help.
and i agree with JPhilip.

I'm not sure that is a repair... If it was a later war cap I would say that is the way it was made....

I agree I don't think this is a repair, just an economy measure, that is using smaller peices of cloth sewn togther in order to fiish the cap. More then likley a mid-war piece.

More then likley a mid-war piece.

Hello,
Any member can have is own personal opinion about this Feldmütze being repaired or produced this way...not a problem....but for me 1940 sounds like a pretty early date concerning WWII. Mid-war should be around 1942.
It looks like there was a soutache that has been removed.

Sorry missed the 1940 date, relax, so it's early war, with a piece added by the manufacturer in order to finish the thing in 1940!
