        As long as the cap is genuine and if it’s not a case of homonymy, this cap may have belonged to Captain R Düe who was the CO of the 1st Co of the divisional antitank bn of the 19th .Panzer Division . See here for his face and his decorations (which include the KC)

          I don't know the maker's name but I know of the same logo and lettering on (at least) three other visor hats. I concur, the sweatnamd is unusual; it reminds me of something I've soon inside Kriegsmarine caps. May I point out the quality of the sweatshield which appear very soft and pliable ... or is it my feeeling?

            Hi Marco,
            Yes you're right,
            the sweatband appears "very soft and pliable" and of quality.
            It may be a specification for this maker ...

              Some of the “old school” makers retained that appointment on their nicer model caps. That cap is as nice a cap as anyone could want, simply beautiful.

                  Note the pinking shear cuts along the inner band.

                    I think you are looking at a line of stitching, not the cut of the liner.

                      That is indeed the zig zag stitch used to secure the velour buffer to the sweatband....no pinking shears.

                        Sorry, but it is a Huesken special--a ground-up repro.

                          I would not say typical Hysken cap but for me it's 100% a modern repro like stonemint say.
                          I would stay away from this cap!

                            That is mindblowing....would have nailed me.

                              I agree that this is not a genuine Meisterklasse.

                              Compare it with this real one:
