Very interesting Officers cap with flatwire insignia made by LZM - Zeugmeisterei Uniform-Bezugsgenossenschaft m.b.H., in Essegg (Croatia).

Some better photos would be appreciated (without feet!)

Different configuration but convincing, eagle is beakless, looks like an owl

[Daniele C]

stuff the inside of the hat and put it on a table and take proper photos of front,sides,back,top, liner, proper straight close ups of the eagle,Liner maker patch and stitching, under the flaps, etc then people will be able to help better

[Disco Partisan]

insignias are fancy flatwire and IMO original even from these photos
the cap looks convincing, though a bit unusual but fine for foreign-made

I agree with Disco a beautiful skull that one.

Nice cap
Its the first time I have seen an eagle with that kind of beak. Are there more examples of this one?
