Is the piping next to the brim on the sweat band side plastic?I see it dissappears under the band . Im scheptical also. I assumed they were mostly bullion insignia as opposed to metal...But then again ive never owned one of these. Navys never been my thing. Of course this is just my opinion. I see more sub hat emblems popping up more frequently now days..., but then again we dont know what the story is you claim the seller has to accompany the hat...i suspect they have been faking u boat emblems for specific boats for decades now. Im not sure any of these non regulation emblems are factory made and maker marked. So ....they are difficult to authenticate, unless you know someone that has a provenanced example. I dont trust u boat stuff unless its right from the vet, and hes still alive. I could have bought a u505 flag signed by all the guys that stopped the scuttling back in the 80s a friend of mine got from the widow for 150. but i did not buy it, an there were more than one signed by the crew that junped on board that day. We wiped out almost 80% of sub crews, and all insignias were lost to the watery grave.Comment
