Luftwaffe sidecap opinion good or fake ???

[von der heyte]

Hi all a guy ask me if this sidecap is original or not ,
but I prefer had your opinion .

[von der heyte]

I m not an expert but I would say the insignia are cope but the side cap I don't know

[Adam S.]

Not an expert either but this one doesn't sit well with me. The colour and cut of the body are off IMO.

I think that big A if you will, is a re-issue stamp for these caps, not sure about the rest.

That's right, this usually is a Bundeswehr marking for all TR re-used items..

Ahhh I agree the big A often seen post war..
Occasionally seen on wartime turn ins re issues..
