Officer cap

[Franck]

Hi !

I need your help about his officer cap. Good ww2 or fake post war ?

Thank you

Some repairs but an original visor..IMO

Appears original but the gold toned chin cord buttons are incorrect. Also strikes me as an enlisted cap "upgraded" with an officer chin cord and wrong buttons.

There are legit examples of issue caps being converted by officers, but I'm skeptical about that with this one.

[Franck]

Thanks. But the enlisted buttons are black no ?

Agree. It's a pekuro EM lining. A lot of repairs make it hard to judge. I'd say an original upgrade.

Does it have acceptance stamps inside the leather sweatband, Private purchase has often have the. J

[Franck]

Yes there are acceptance stamps:

[jacquesf]

There you are enlisted to officer upgrade. J

[Franck]

So it's probably an original upgrade ?

I guess we will never know when the upgrade was done. Hat is original. J

Without provenance you will never know when the cap is upgraded to officer!
Could be waretim could be postwar upgraded.
