Bob Lyons Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi all, I thought I would share some photos of a fairly rare cloth cap. Thgis one is a standard Luftwaffe officer visor cap, they are fairly hard to find with the trapezoid insignia, but this one is a rare one, in that it is a factory produced M43 cap, with full RB number. Normally these caps were privately produced. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Was it originally an EM, converted for officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lyons Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi Paul, No, factory made as an officer M43 cap, which is what makes it rare. Bob Was it originally an EM, converted for officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lyons Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks Paul, Here is another one with trapezoid insignia, this one is the type more commonly encountered, the private purchase type of M43 cap, although finding one with trapezoid insignia is still difficult...
