    If the material is softer pliable plastic it is a bad sign. It should be celluloid, not plastic, and after more than 60 years will usually be brittle and would snap if bent to sharply. It is quite common to find inside original caps that the celluloid band stiffener is cracked.

    as eduardo(KM-SPAIN) stated to me the stiffener from this matrosen cap and my private km sailor cap(COBRA) discussed on the forum are the same type...black plastic celluloid material thicker and stiff too,this kind of material it seems to be accepted for stiffener in the KM sailor caps private purchase...and of course private purchase always will be in discussions as all of us know by the material,the construction,the maker,etc
