relichelmet Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Could I have some opinons on this overseas hat for a friend of mine. He has been looking all over the net for a cap with the same pattern like this one but all he can find are m40 side caps. Someone suggested this might be a m34 model. Did they ever make kriegsmarine m34 hats except for the coastal artillery? Or could this be a private purchase side cap?
relichelmet Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 My friend got a notification on another forum that this side cap is a fake. Best Regards Thorsteinn.
Gordon Williamson Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 An unofficial, privately made, piece is always possible, but there were only two official patterns of this Feldmütze style cap for the Navy, the M38 Gefechtsmütze and the M39 Bordmütze (no M40) both of which were visually, almost identical, so a dark blue M34 style is unlikely.
relichelmet Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Thank you for your reply Gordon. Could I have your opinion on the insignia please, does it have a chance? Best Regards Thorsteinn. Edited March 16, 2010 by relichelmet
