Looks convincing, never seen a reversed woven eagle before. Where is the piping joined?

Several types of Luftwaffe M-41 type caps were made by Italian contractors for the Luftwaffe, this may be one of those.

Interesting cap.
I can see the words Cappell something, ROMA and 1941

Nice find G!

This helps a bit.

Not Cappell like I first thought, more like Capoelleri?
