Hi fellas,

i just bought a photo lot for a few bucks, and discovered this photo, with soldiers in WH uniform wearing maybe an Austrian side cap ? Its a bit also similar to the Hungarian as well, im no expert in headgear in the way to tell what this actually is, so if you have any thought about the pic, let me know

Thanks.

Its the early M34 Reichwehr early nazi version worn till about late 1935 early 36..in fotos you ll see the double non button functional front ..like m42...Soutache that runs from bottom of cap up to where later you en countered the eagle.. at that spot with these cap a metal national colors rossette is mounted..it looks MAYBE 1 of these caps have been partially modified with early WH bevo cap eagle.. not very often encountered today..
