Not one I would go after

It is an interesting phenomenom that film studio or museum markings in an item were once considered undesirable by many collectors, yet since then fakers have added these numbers and codes to their creations to make their product more credible. I am not certain that is what is going on here, but I wouldn't allow that detail alone to convince you of this cap's authenticity.

Well thought and spoken as usual OSS...Billbert

wondering if any remnants of german maker markings..also looks like front seam MIGHT BE monkeyed with..Billbert

I don't see anything so far that makes it bad. We should smoke on this matter

MINT outside

I would not say mint outside by these pictures and I do not see nothing that really boder me.
Just my opinion.

I'm very surprised here
So many caps I would give an ok which got a and this one that I don't like at first glance which got a .

1. Lining seems to be as found on repro's made from mantel. Difficult to tell in english but it has no form like it has been put yesterday.

2. It miss sewings I like to see on good caps. On the cap itsef and on the front flaps.

3. It might be the pic but I'm not even sure the trap is original to the cap if you look at the right side: sewing is not regular.

It is just my HO of course....

I will add that color of the thread is odd, not the same thread used for the cap and the insignia and the trap is very low on the cap.....

Just saw this.
Leave it alone. As Singer has said close but no cigar.
