Thank you Paul. Here's a few more pics. Mark

Sorry, obviously I'm a newbie here and I'm trying to figure out the posting of pictures. Thanks Mark

Hello All, I've posted this Waffenrock on a different forum but I thought I would share it with all of you. This NCO Panzer Lehr Waffenrock with an original Spanien Cuff Title is one of the highlights on my collection. I hope you all enjoy it. Mark

Gordon, Michel, I sincerely appreciate your expierence and opinions on my cap The sweatband appears to be original to the cap. It does not appear to be re-sewn and it has the same wear, or lack there of, as the rest of the cap. I have made the decision to send the cap back to the dealer. Although I know both of you are the experts in your field when it comes to Kriegsmarine materials and I highly respect your opinions, there are too many conflicts I have with the cap that would prevent me from sleeping soundly at night. Respectfully Mark

Michel, Thank you for the picture of your cap. Your opinion and the picture you provided is excellent proof that the cap I have is an original. The only thing on this cap that still concerns me is, the wreath. What is your opinion on this? Have you seen this type of wreath before? It looks like it is poorly made and constructed. Can you provide me with a picture of a wreath you have that is the same as mine? I would appreciate that very much. Michel, thank you very much and I appreciate your help. Very respectfully Mark

Michel, Thank you very much for the reply and I highly respect your opinion. To be honest with you, after everything that has been said at WAF...the warm fuzzy feeling of this cap's originality is gone. Unfortunately, I do not have enough expierence with KM visors to put my mind at ease especially with how much I paid for this visor. There are too many unanswered questions about this cap for me to sleep soundly at night. With that said, I'm seriously thinking of returning the cap to the dealer on Monday. Michel, what is your opinion on the wreath? I must admit, the wreath's construction is very sloppy and uneven which I find suspect because the Germans were all about details. Also, does the constuction of the cap's interior raise any concerns for you? The plastic, stitching, etc? I have put this cap under the black light test and one thing that sticks out (glows) is the edging on the chin strap. The strpa appears to be an immitation leather or perhaps a leather bi-product. Would this be correct? I have two other officer visors that have been looked at by others and have passed the test of original pre 45 manufaturer and these chin straps do not have that "glow". Regards Mark
