I believe this is an 'Alteste' fake ... this is based on the 3 prong Assmann skull and the late zinc Assmann eagle both of which are accepted originals now BUT both are also usually to be found on Alteste fake caps.

Nothing about this cap looks 'real' to me, better photos may help but ATM it all looks bodgey

Just an early Alteste.

I dont like it too.
The eagle has been reattached that's obvious and am sure that this white piping has some synthetic material in it.

I do like those Alteste visors as a field of their own - too bad so many are getting pimped about as wartime lids.

ok, thanks for your coments guys. So we understand is an old copy. Just to "keep in mind" how are made these ones, i attached the pictures about the part inside the sweatband that the seller just sent to me. It's seems very good aged isn't...?
