Rare and + rare

Ciao a tutti,

I think that these are super rare.
Cap and sidecap for a member of the Big military Orphanage in Postdam, that from 1933 was a Napola school.
Then in 1938 Wehrmacht.

You're not kidding--this is the only one I know of in existence---the only pics I had seen of one in wear was in books--congrats!

Very unusual. It is interesting that the Postdam NPEA School continued issuing student daggers that were the same design, but with the orphanage designation after the school reverted to the Wehrmacht and as rare as these hats. I have only seen one of the MWP marked daggers, but photos of a student wearing the dagger in a formation of band members dated in1939 well after the change.

Wow! Certainly something new for me. Why the Heer insignia for a orphanage? Please excuse my ignorance but I don't have a clue what type of organization we're talking about. Jim

I think that is very difficoult to know.
But after 1938 was a military school for wehrmacht, so nothing strange with Heer insignia.

Ciao a Tutti Stefano
