Hi Gordon...thanks for the comments...here's a couple more pics. I think the stiffener is the cardboard type.

Hi all...I thought I'd post up my latest edition for some opinions. Non-removable top but looks to me like an early quality cap.

Peter is correct, his is an NCO cap, but one which has been altered for use by an officer. Officer caps have the peak covered with blue cloth.
Peter, am I right in assuming the stiffener inside the cap band is celluloid material rather than the pasteboard / card type material you find in Army/Luft caps.
Looks like a nice original , modified, cap.
Hi Gordon, thanks for the positive replies everyone ...The stiffener I'd describe as a grey crisscross hard material(not pasteboard IMO).
I think Lutz was one of the survivor's and went into captivity 30.07.43 (I assume in the US) so maybe this cap may have been a field promotion on an earlier patrol...then left at home or on the base, hence the condition and why it's surfaced now.
Michel....you're right, not textbook but pleased this one's a nice original.
Best...Peter

Hi All....Just picked up this NCO U-boat cap named to Ernst Lutz from the U591.Note the scalloped Brass field upgrade.
Any opinions on the cap appreciated.
Best...Peter

Hi Guys, great thread and lots of interesting info. I too was unable to dtell the difference between a good and a bad example but this goes a long way to make it a little clearer on the points to notice.
Keep em coming!!

Hi Justin...you're right both shields by Juncker. The LW's Buntmetal and the KM Version should be Cupal.This KM's Zinc. I think the LW cloth is postwar applied.
This Narvik thread just keeps on rolling...
All the best.....Peter

Hi....sorry to say this one's a copy of the Deumer shield. Notice the gap between the wreath and the bottom of the crossbar where on originals the wreath sits at the bottom of the crossbar as below.
Hope that helps.....Peter
