This one has been showed here before. Nice original one, typical re-sized French made side cap

+1 .
Here is another one from the same french maker (SOGECO-Société Générale de Confection)-city of Nantes, french Atlantic coast :

As previously said, the cap has been enlarged by another french maker in Paris (Société Chapelière Parisienne) because it was to small for a soldier's head (sabotage !).

Its really sabotage?
I wonder because these one example:

Coastal artillery overseas cap produced in Germany/small size and re-worked in France? (Same one factory - Société Chapelière Parisienne.)

Very interesting point ! Up to now these re-sized caps were often considered as enlarged "sabotage productions". But considering the link, it was perhaps just classic re-working in France for too small caps !
Anyway, thanks for this topic.

One more question.
Is yellow V designation original, and it is original stitched on cap?
