Cap

A ground up fake using an original sweat shield.

A ground up fake using an original sweat shield.

Agreed it's a ground up fake but are you sure that sweat shield is original?

For quick reference, visor edge and fabric nono. J

Sweatshield

Agreed it's a ground up fake but are you sure that sweat shield is original?

I would not bet my life, but it looks convincing. I am only referring to the sweatshield. The hat is bogus.

Peter,

agreed! VERY convincing... I'm in the position that I got burnt on one of these in my earlier collecting days - in hand, it just doesn't feel right ... Kurt

You guys are good. Hat is a 100% repro from the ground-up (yes, even the sweatshield is a fake.)
Amazing how many times they have faked the Leparo logo.....

The total website is alarmingly.
Sooo many fake caps and insiginas...
Poor buyer!

I rarely comment on the wool itself, but it defnitely does nto look right on this cap - the ribbing seems bery narrow or skinny. Pretty sure the liner, sweat diamond, etc are also repro.

After 60 years of a SB being pressed against the liner, it wouldn't look like this.
