Diplomatic Corps -- black Erel Privat

[Kurt]

I wanted to show you my latest addition.

I've been looking for a true Diplo cap I can trust for a pretty long time now. Ideally, I figured, it should be made by a well-known TR maker just to be on the safe side. I'd say Robert Lubstein qualifies and this example just srceams Erel. It's a Privat and not vented.

Enjoy the pics!

Very nice score, Kurt. Soon you'll have the entire Reichsaußenministerium kitted out...

Hi Kurt,

Is the black cap for a high ranking official or are the three caps shown all of about the same rank? As you can tell, I'm not a cap guy but those are three beauties!

Thank you,

duk,

those caps could actually have belonged to three officers of the same pay group.

The field grey could have belonged to a Government official serving outside the Reich (i. e. Bohemia) or a member of the Diplomatic Corps. The black one was only worn by members of the Diplomatic Corps (except for a short phase after the introduction of these uniforms). The brown one was worn by a member of Reichs Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories or a member of the administration of the Generalgovernment.
