A few members expressed concerns to me that this hat may have been tampered with (maybe to replace the insignia) http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=794192
Below is one members comment.
"Please look closely at the center seam line, which shows signs of a prior line of stitching that may have been removed, while the existing thread that remains looks red instead of the olive/ tan thread one should encounter on a wartime original. Furthermore, the left side of the stitching along the crown almost appears to be hand-sewn"
Your thoughts please.
