thanks for your opinion.

Contract cap missing its chinstrap.


Are there markings to IR17 under the sweatband?

[bats]

I don't think so.

I agree, hole is clear on the last photo

Looks like the eagle was moved up to accomodate the skull (see holes in red).


Many caps have "joined" KR13 postwar, and IMO, this is one of them.

Sorry, I meant to say KR13

OK, thus not gone up by origin for you.

I would wager that the skull has not been on that cap since May 1945.
