Since it is "sidecap opinion"week I would like to contribute

It is marked with Sprengpfeil Mutzenfabrik Hamburg (I thinks it says 10)

Agree, looks like they forgot the "Willy", among other things

Yeah a complete fake made with original cloth from a greatcoat probably...which explains the worn look...
but on the other hand the inside is completely new looking (unworn) ...now that's BIG clue that its bad!
Also fake soutache incorrectly attached, repro cockade, bad (modern made) Sprengpheil maker stamp...
It probably had a real bad eagle (glued) on it ...so that was removed to make it look somewhat believable (to the novice)
