Is this hat BAD ?? Seams in white piping ??

[AveragejoeWWII]

In looking at this hat it seems that the white piping in back, both top and bottom, has a seam to it. I remember reading somewhere that this is a sign of a POSSIBLE fake. What do you think ?

Could still be fine...can you give us better pics of the piping and hat overall?

Billed as unissued and unworn 1945

Looks fine to me.

I agree with Koguryo. Looks like a good late war cap - probably not unissued, given the newspaper under the sweatband.

Looks AOK last ditch to me too Billbert

Yes, it has seldom seen cord piping, but its original!

Well I guess the verdict is in. I know I read some where here on the WAF that a waffenfarbe seam on the back was a sign of a repro/fake. I can't seem to find the thread, but if anyone else can please post. Never say Never !!!!

You are correct that it is UNCOMMON to find this trait..but it is not unheard of..Billbert
