Hi ; What do you think about this blurred edge camo cap, please ?
good or fake?

All of the originals I have seen have metal grommets for the vent holes.....

What you have seen is one thing. These caps were made using metal grommets for the vent holes as well as machine sewn vent holes. Then there are those that have no vent holes at all.

Period photographs suggest that each of these variants claims about one third of the total production.

This cap here is of course not original.

Cheers

thanks for your answers

Yes- I know there were some made with no ventholes, this cap has them so the relevance of that comment eludes me unless its point was just to be snarky.
Thanks,
Eric

Eric:

It's not my intention to be snarky, I am just growing tired of posts like this (post 2).

You claimed that "all caps you've seen had metal grommets" . Fine, it all depends on what you have seen I suppose. - And I am not being cynical here!

In case you don't believe me, go throuh period photos or consult the beaver book. Machine sewn vent holes aren't a faker's invention, they did exist and not just in isolated cases.

Cheers
