Looks like an issue cap with those markings. Can't tell what the material is, almost looks like Dutch cloth with an unusual sweatband. But a normal issue one IMO.

Nothing is normal Issue on that Hat......

Looks very nice to me. I guess this variation could be called a type3 and although I can not quite make out the date I would assume it is 41 or 42. I think this type first came out in later 41 and I don’t recall seeing seeing one dated later than 42 though they must have made them at least until the M43 was introduced.

I don’t agree that this private purchase or rather it is a pure contract made cap as would have been issued but could be paid for by officer or NCO as an additional cap in the case the latter

I see fewer of this type than the earlier types. Like M41 tunics compared to M36, not many items from 41/42 were apparently left at home

Thanks for your comments.

Inside stamp is Mutzenfabrik Breiter, München, 1942.

Wool

The wool is similar to the wool in this tunic, discussed here:

Thank you for taking time to look. Let me know what you think.

It is a beautiful cap and the insignia looks very convincing in hand.

I appreciate your comments as I am far from an expert on caps.

I think you did good with that Bergmutze. TBird looks resewn but not important, Rest is nice Give it a good new Home, and when ever you decide to let it go, i have his Brother in my Collection, so he will not be alone

Thanks. I will make a note of that and you will have first chance to buy it.

Very nice set, I must say when I saw them on the dealers site I was tempted, but just out of my price range! that said quality always costs

Good purchase, enjoy!

Sorry, it's the cap I recognise not the tunic!!
