Very nice and rare cap,
probably guard of this price.

I was watching this but didn't bid !

hard one to judge for me so I would love to know what people think.
I like some of the the inside features but was not a fan of the crown cloth and the "felt" look on the cap band.

be interested to know either way.

I see a Stirndruckfrei Deutsches Reichspatent marking but no Stirndruckfrei Deutsches Reichspatent ... also I have noticed that 99% of German auctions featuring the term "TOP" followed by exclamation marks tend to sell fakes (that's just a personal observation but no real reasoning I guess).

I watched it also with interest. It seems like someone was fairly convinced it was good.

Here are the photos to keep this very interesting hat thread relevant after the ebay listing runs out..

Very rare item

I have to question the liner along with Kurt - I suspect it's been donated to this cap. Never having seeen one of these in person, I can't comment on the rest of the cap.
