Kriegsmarine KM Side cap with tradition badge

[paul w]

Hello guys, this is a recent aquisition from Thomas Huss.This is my first side cap of any sort and while I have compared it against similar ones on this and other forums and believe it looks ok I need some more experienced opinions.Now I know when you pick up these caps with tradition badges without provenence you pay your money and take your chances,however,perhaps I could have some opinions on the cap itself, the eagle and cockade, and finally the edelweiss.The edelweiss is non magnetic and appears to be zinc with a small amount of 'zinc pest' on the ends of some of the petals.Many thanks for any help you can give,

Paul

Thomas certainly has the ability to source good original U-Boat stuff, thats for sure !

I believe he is actually a memer of this Forum now.

Cheers,
