Overseas cap with white soutache

[Volkbert]

I am looking for a nice overseas cap with a white soutache for my infantry collection. On the net I found one but I like to have your opinions on it. What do you think about it?

I would let it go...

hello Vokbert,

I don't think that this is a genuine one. IMO the wool-texture just doesn't look right. Concerning the insignia ( look at the funny eagle and the way it has been applied). Well, I also think that these are reproductions, the soutache is not good either...

Do you have a pic from the inside?

It is all wrong...wrong style/pattern for a Heer cap (not the schiffschen style the army used), wrong wool, wrong soutache material (not Russia Braid) and the hoheitsabzichen/cap eagle looks to be a fake. The isnide would likely reveal more that is wrong, like lining materials and post war grommets/air holes.

Are not sure about the cap itself but all the insignias are definitly fake. Need to see the inside and more of the cap to determine if it is all fake or not.

Add a picture to clearify the differencis. Quite obvious, don´t you think?

Hope it helps.
