Dear all, with the permission of the seller and the owner, I am glad to post some photographs of this beauty. Unfortunately, the eagle is denazified. Still, I think this crusher is nice. Would like your learned comments. Thanks.

I like it

Thanks for all the positive comments. The most unfortunate thing is that the eagle has been denazified.

Yes,I wonder how difficult it would be to find a replacement eagle?
I, too, like the cap very much.

I agree that finding a replacement eagle is not diffcult. But then, since the eagle has been denazified, some marks have to be deducted, at least according to my humble standard.

Hello Guys,

As some of you knows, the green is not my favorite color and not my speciality.
For me it is not an officer cap and not the good eagle an dcocarde for this type of cap. I have no problem with the cap itself but if you look with attention the wartime pictures you note there are worn by the NCO and principally by the "Spiess". Each time eagle and cocarde are "bevo".
Opinion by "KM green specialist" are welcome.

Best regards nfrom France,

Michel

I'm for shure not the seller of the cap but I like to know why you are so shure it did not come from an officer?
I don't see any markings or points of an upgraded cap.

Cheers,

There is nothing wrong with the insignia, the patina matches quite nicely.

Wow she is a beauty isnt she, i wouldnt have touched it, but thats just me...

Hello,

My intention is not to break this cap, she is good but totally atypical for an officer IMO, look the wartime pictures.

It will be interesting to compare the actual eagle size and the shadow original one. The same for the oakleaf cocarde with better pictures.

Second hypothese, the visor is not original sew.

Regards,

Michel
