Here is a side view of the cap and the perfect maker stamp. If you have any information on this maker or his stamp(s) that would be great!

Any other opinions or concerns with the Paul Wagenmann cap, stamp or insignia?!?!?
Is it common to find factory-applied SS tropical sleeve insignia on these tropical SS field caps... perhaps assuming there was an insufficient number of SS tropical cap eagles?
Milan's tropical SS field cap looks great (from a novice perspective) and has continental SS insignia... was this also relatively common?!?
One previously unanswered question raised by Chris (90th Light)... was SS tropical cap insignia more often machine or hand applied?Comment

IMO hand.. Billbert

No problem on the sleeve eagle or its application to this cap. I was just talking about this with a friend about this exact scenario Friday: two SS tropical caps sourced from a veteran, one with normal cap eagle and one with sleeve eag;e applied instead. Who knows why this was done but it is all original IMO.Comment
