    Brass grommets on early caps

    Hello fellow collectors.....

    Yesterday,I had (another...) discussion with a fellow collector about the early type of brass ventilation grommets found on early caps.
    Some say these grommets look "odd" and can be found on fake caps.....
    I'm a collector of German Red Cross headgear (DRK) and I have some 100% original caps in my collection which have these brass grommets.
    I have a very early m34 overseas cap (1934-1935) , an overseas cap with 1st. pattern DRK cloth cap eagle (1935-aprox. 1938) and a cap of the DRK mountain resque service (this is NOT a m43 cap nor a traditional GJ cap... it's a private purchase predecessor of the later m43 caps) this cap is also dated to the early 30's...
    ALL 3 caps have the same type of brass grommets.... and all 3 caps are 100% original
    What's your opinion about these grommets ?????

              Have seen similar grommets in 1942 production Luftwaffe M41 caps. But in the case of the M41s, the grommets are brass plated steel, they can rust and are magnetic.
