              That is the mountain troop visor hat I would want for my collection!

                That nice original, beautiful cap is from the boxful of unissued ones found in Berchtesgaden around 1973 / 1974 by longtime dealer & collector Chuck Scaglione, formerly of Buffalo, NY. I saw the boxful at the Girard, PA Gunshow back then, & I bought one for $35, I think mine was a sz 56 or 58. There may have been about a dozen caps in the box. I went thru the box & picked out a large size. When I sold my first collection, it was one of the last pcs to go,- sold it in 1988, to a WW2 museum in New Hampshire. The museum owner passed away, & the cap was sold at auction 13 March 2010. The interior of one of these caps from the find, is pictured in Tom Shutt's book "Dress & Field Service Hats of the 3dReich", on page 213, on the top right. Note the neat "Frischluft" system of the air-vents around the edges of the wreath.

                      Thanks guys.
                      I didn't know that story but I thought a group of mint ones were recovered. There's one in the Moran & Maguire book pg. 134-135. Also, this hat came from a collector from Toronto.
