Gordon Williamson Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Now here is the interesting part. A nice Bundesmarine senior officers visor cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Note the method of construction , with the white cover removed, full lining is exposed , with the interior showing a white padding/backing material. It almost looks like Colin's cap has been made by removing the peak from a visor cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
