An odd black PZ overseas cap

[richthofen_117]

Hi all, I just came across this cap on a website. It's a black panzer sidecap while the soutache is red not pink. Have you ever seen this example before? Yun

Red soutache is for Armoured Artillery, as worn for example with GD Division Panzerartillerie Regiment .

Long ago I had a similar WSS cap with red soutache for Panzerartillerie.

Red or pink soutache ? and a KM cockade?....maybe post war additions

[Mike Davis]

Red would be a viable possibility for a Heer Panzer sidecap and I have seen more than one original black example with KM rosette...

Thanks for all your answers, so this sidecap should be a wartime original one?
