LW Tropical OS Cap: Help Needed

[Larry F.]

Guys,

Any ideas on this maker? I know the pic stinks but there's just not much left of the stamp.

All I can make out on line one is "Lec"

No clue on line two.

Line three says "Rothenburg Oder".....I think.

Thanks.

Here's a better picture.

The answer you seek lies within German Paratroops in North Africa.

Perhaps on page 109 Mr. Hodgin?

Thanks for the tip. Just found it.

Perhaps on page 109 Mr. Hodgin?

That would be correct Mr. Foley, an uncommon manufacturer. Nice side cap!

Hallo Larry F.

In my opinion, a cap made by Leonhard PAULIG of Rothenburg Oder (LEPARO).

Best regards

[Larry F.]

Thanks for your opinion Enorepap, and I agree with you. Leparo is the maker.
