Nice "FRENCH MADE" KM cap...I do so like the embroidered insignia, especially that matching cockade. Makes me want to collect KM.

ditto! Nice cap...

Interesting ; what does make it a french production ? Simple question, I don't know this subject. Thanks

[Leroy]

Here's another (converted to HG use) by the same French firm.

The maker stamp is French

[Leroy]

Gene is correct. Use of the word "Chapeau" (sometimes "Chapeaux") in the manufacturer's stamp is the tip-off.

French contract caps

Nice. The makers of which paid a heavy tribute after the Allied liberation for such dealings with the Occupier... if one is to believe the "official " version...
Nice chapeaux.

HG use...why that is preposterous! How do you know it wasn't for some experimental flying E boat crewman?

Thank you, I thought that the cloth employed etc. was concerned too !

Yes maker is "La Chapeliére Parisienne"
Martin.

[Leroy]

Thanks, Martin, for the correct name. (I could read the "Chap..." and "Pari..." on mine, which is faded, so I incorrectly jumped to "Chapeau"!)


Richard - Yes, it is the rare "Flying E-Boat" cap!
