Gentlemen. I would very much appreciate your input on this cap. Clearly the eagle is a later added diplomatic eagle, but what of the rest of the cap?

I would run far away from it..

I agree with Glenn--fake cap.
Lining was pulled out of a real Eckenhoff visor.

ugh

Very Fourth Reichish thus fake.

Thank you gentlemen, I very much appreciate your input

Has anyone considered this might be a Penal service Officials cap?

Interesting point. Do you have a link to any pictures?

The color, material, eagle and cockade all fit for a Penal cap.

Civilian caps of that style are often made more like a visor caps, as the pattern predates the War.

This should be a general Bergmuetze, we go to the T-eagle regards sergio

Eckenhoff was a Forestry Effekten distributor.
(& no, I do not believe for a second this a Forestry General's M-43).

They may very well have also supplied the Civil Service and penal Authorities. It's just a possibility and more research should be devoted to it.
