M38 panzer side cap

[breidi81]

hi

what are you thnk about this panzer side cap?

for me it is a original M38 with original sutured cockade and eagle. the green cockade and eagle was not uncommon on panzer side caps

you can not see the stiches on the pics from the removed pink nook

IMO a good one .
Pictures of the inside would confirm that ?
Green badges are common to early side caps,not a disturbing point

correct air vents and a truly nice original panzer side cap ! I have also had once an early side cap with original green applied insignias

Great original cap and with soutache removed per regulations. Looks unissued.

It's ok, like RGD51 has noted.
Is it not an M34?
