    Two Kriegsmarine overseas caps for opinions- blue and Coastal Artillery

    I wanted to post these field caps here before offering for sale. Both are worn and I believe they are untouched originals. The Coastal Artillery one is a nice example with the soutache and the blue one has an interesting maker stamp. These are outside of my collection focus and I don't know what they are worth, any suggestions of realistic E-Stand prices would be welcome and appreciated.

    First the blue cap.

    The cockade is machine stitched, the eagle is hand stitched, I believe both are the original factory application. Part of the wreath and swastika is in a wrinkle from decades of being stored flat as you can see.

          Interior. Somebody wrote "WERMACHT" under the maker stamp, looks to have been done long ago- in pre-ballpoint pen days- I suspect maybe by the vet who brought it back.

                I wish I was that lucky. These are the first and only KM Schiffchen I have ever had.

                  I don't see any problems, the KM with many of it's bases in France often contracted with French manufacturers. The KA cap is fine even with the mis-spelled addition by the GI or whoever.
