        Hello gents,
        I am far from being able to make any judgemenents on these amazing caps, so decided to ask you for your help with this one.

        Please, is there any chance this one is original piece?

        Thank you!

          Im not cap expert but skull could be orginal Assman.
          I like this eagle but in this case my opinion is not important because it is out of my knowledge.

            Skull looks to me also as a good Overhoff, but I am not able to tell if the construction of the cap itself is good or not:-(

              Dedman, the skull is not an Overhoff type. Its Assmann like Funia said. Do some research and compare.

                  Hallo dedman

                  The fabric is convincing and finally not the usual Italian one. So everything is played on the band, partly because from shot n. 1 I see many exposed seams in the backside, both above and below. The sweatband is sewn with very long points; there are three strange folds on the left side; the lining is a bit untidy, but I think these are not the real crucial points. I think we need to see the inside front of the capboard to verify that there are no more holes than those of the skull. All in all, in my opinion, it deserves attention.

                  Best regards

                      Italy was not the only country who produced at this time cloth ;-)
                      If i am right the Fieldgray Cloth from this Visor is Dutch made (Holland/Niederlande)

                        I agree. The cloth looks typically German to me, and I like the overall look of the cap. But I do have some concerns. For one the vulkanfibre visor, if it is indeed vulkanfibre, is very suspicious. Also, the sweatband has some issues.
                        Finally, it appears to be an upgrade. Is it a velvet band? It looks more like wool on my screen.

                          Hi,
                          If I can jump in......an immaculate SB while the top shows a good use...
                          The inner cardboard band...the many exposed seams and the long points in the SB as stated by Enorepap....I would be very very very careful and from pics I wouldn't consider it......
                          As always IMHO...

                              For me it is an untouched original that started as a NCO cap and was period upgraded with officer cords......as are probably about 20% of these caps seen in wartime photos.....but no way to say for sure except in some rare cases of studio photos where you can tell that bands are wool.
