Thanks! I like it also:)

I try to make better pictures in the future as these are still from the seller I'd bought it from and I had to delete his name from the pictures:)

Thanks for your comment Gordon and Michael,

I decided to contact the seller and I've got my money back on this one.

This Unofficial capbadge belonged was worn by members of the 3. Schnellboot Flotille.

Comments are welcome

I have this enamel badge, does somebody know which unit it used to belong to??

Thanks Michel,

I hope te get some more opinions about this cap, anyone?

I don't know the excact differance between a early bund visor and a kriegsmarine, but I thought the rim of the bund one is from PVC like material.

The black lackered rim on this cap is from leather..

The black leather parts which see on the pictures from the inside from the cap is part of the visor, i don't know if this is correct but I've seen this on pictures from other KM caps.

The cocarde and wreath, that's difficult for me. Maybey Michel means that the red "eye" is a little bit small and the silver part is smaller then the black part of it??

I hope someone can help me out here!

The side, please ignore the red piece of rope at the gold anchored button, is still from the pricetag

another close up from the inside, directed to the centre front.

Note the pieces of leather wich is only in the front part of the cap and in the centre there is an extra stiffener, again from a hard material.

Also there is still a metal stiffener ring inside the fixed top, which in most cases was removed to crate the floppy look

Brown leather sweatband with ventilationholes on the inside there is orange coloured sponge material.

Also you can see that the blue satin liner is loosely stiched onto the capframe. The capframe is made of white plasticlike material.

the inside, with almost intact sweatshield.

The visor

Close up from the insignia, same colour as the eagle

clos-up from the eagle, some mothing on it

It's finally in my collection, a KM visor.

I took some pictures of it, so here it is.

Most of my knowledge is from another internetforum, the French militariamagazine and "die kriegsmarine vol1" from Angolia&Schlicht,

this is my first one but have a good feeling about it!

I am glad with your opinions by the way!

Thanks Gordon,

For some reason I couldn't get the pictures right myself.

When I have the visor cap i will post some pictures of it as well!

Here are some pictures of the tellermuetze in my collection.

It has a removable blue cover with the metal stiffner still inside and a nametag inside.

The capframe has also a nametag and the typical plastic like material in the frame.

I like it very much. besides 2 Kriegsmarine sidecaps which I already have, a junior officers visor cap will be in my collection january '06

Any comment is always welcome!
