        Thanks derka,

        yes I agree, do not like the grommet/ eyelet and I am always weary of that type of strongly ribbed satin/ art.silk liner material in a sidecap. May be ok in some officer visor hats but in a sidecap or M43 it is usually a "no/no"

          Chris, your cap with grommets more closely resembles a Bergmuetze than an M43. Notice how the crown seam is sewn.

          Gisle's cap is the same.

            Good observation Ben,

            I see what you mean. Is this a footprint of 1942 and earlier production ???

                    I think they probably reside on an original Waffen SS tropical billed cap....

                      For sure a tropical billed cap but not the grommets I used to encounter on this kind of cap...

                        Hi Ben

                        Agree this is a great thread. Here is a link to your thread on the original ss tropical field cap with the grommets you posted here
