I got this tropical side cap from Estand late 2018.
It was found in the Czech Republic and used by their boy scouts after the war.
It had circular boyscout qualification patched stitched to one side. Ghosts still visible if you look carefully.
(btw Czech ooy scouts also used German tropical pith helmets that were war time left overs...)
The tropical eagle is back on...just have not found the proper cockade yet...
hence this metal coackade filler! (if somebody has the proper one drop me a line!)
It of course never had soutache, it a later type which also explains the RBNr stamp.
A metal cap device is not too far fetched I guess, but perhaps more approriate as an officer upgrade...
so would like to obtain a regular tropical one. Some friends who attended the SOS had no luck...
