Luftwaffe Officer's cap

[woodeye]

Hello,

a cap got me has surprised something. I do not like four points with this little ship at all:

1. The metal cord has inside a white thread under ultraviolet light shines.

2. The kind of the former Aufn?hers in the inside feed.

3. Ordinarily, the inside material about the outside material had been sewed Inside, here it is exactly bent. Also only one seam and not is the stitch, otherwise, like here with this little ship. Though I have seen this seam already once with team's trousers, but as said not very often.

4. I can ascertain no impression of an eagle, but a Kokarde was probably fixed sometimes with two stings. Also has the Kokarde a brighter light leave which is also absent for the eagle.

On this occasion, it could concern early federal air forces little ship of the officers or another organisation? The kind of the manufacturer's sign becomes or was used with the federal navy little ship. For 2. Little ship WK is known to me no manufacturer's sign of this type which found use in a little ship. Would be nice if to her to me some clarification could get, because is carried it, there no doubt exists.

But I would ascribe it rather to another organisation than the air force and hold it for a post-war production, even if it is no copy.

Hi woodeye,

I think, that it is an absolutely normal Bundeswehr (Heer) officers cap.

I agree Bundeswehr, but luftwaffe..

A very early one too.

Thank you all,

this also fits to my opinion, had also enquired me again with another collector and he is also of the same opinion, early Bundesluftwaffe.

woodeye

the fabric is blue

Same tag stitching as this post war cap.

Thanks luftguy,

this confirms our supposition again, had also already belonged from such signs with the navy and why should it also not have been similar with the air force?
