BlackWatch Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hello, I have collected a few German things over the years, but only Heer. I am interested in getting a Kriegsmarine Cap to do a Battle of the Atlantic display. I am wondering if this cap is authentic? It is available for $550 CAD and is from a reputable dealer. It is a salty cap but I like the look of it. Thank you in advance for any help rendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Take a look to the sweatband and inner stuff and lining . all fits more or less well with a real cap but,Why someone had torn out the central portion of the lining ? just were normally the manufacturer name was carried .

I don't think someone has taken it out, it is just not in the best condition. It is a salty cap all around. Probably caused by natural wear.

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I don't know if a missing liner can rule a cap out... It can raise the quaetion of why it is missing, but I have had a number of good caps with liners missing.... I think it is simply impossible to even guess with these photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
