Hi to everyone,
this is my last arrival (of which I'm very satisfied, of course).
Not the rarest farbe, or SS cap....but I find it very interesting all the same.
It' s a very early Clemens Wagner cap (1936), a little bit salty but it keep a beautiful shape. Unfortunately the inner celluloid shield is deeply damaged but you can still read the logo writing. (I post a pic from this forum, to compare, where the logo is intact)
I find it interesting for two things:
1) it has the peak leather (as the "alter art" ones) with the typical sewn LW visor edge.
2)The method of attachment of the chinstrap buttons. Normally thay are with the classic metal pins.....here they are secured with a sort of "clips" buttons (sorry....I don't know the exact term in english).....but I think they are original to the cap.
Inside there's another red stamp , I can'r read it, but I think it could be a post war theatre mark or something like that......
Every opinions about it will be welcome...
Regards
Giorgio
