Materials looks good, but construction is not what I would expert to see.

Thx Antonio, materials for sure look 100% ok. The hat is being flattened for years. You can hardly get it in a 'normal' position. It looks okay to me. I got it from a international very respected and regarded person.

You need some more pics?

Antonio, do you mean too neat and meticolous? What would you expect otherwise?

Not for that, they were made in a good way.
It is missing some details.
I have to say that exist originals made in this way, but also copies are all made like this. And nowadays it is amost impossible distinguish a good missing details, from a fake.

Hi Gaspare,

you can see the lining on several pics. Especially the first. The hat is turned to the outside. Or do you mean something else?

The outside Material is identical to one of the ones I own.

Hi. Thxxx. And the inside material?

[matx007]

The interior is a little different but I have another cap with very similar interior. These caps I believe were found in a very large hoard in Europe. They all have the exact same characteristics.

I also don't like this cap. Here is picture of caps which I have had.

sorry answered hat question on uniform topic..

These hats are something you'd expect to see. . ragged, rough shape and would have been made late war IF there was enough scrap material. Postwar though they did make a bunch. Many can be seen being worn at the 're unions' postwar in to the 50s..
