francisco v. Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 That's a nice early republican period (no crown) side cap. After 1931 with the fall of monarchy, the color switched from green to deep blue in the regulations. Noteworthy is that although sporting a NCO chevron rank, the cap itself is officers issue with golden soutache along the green one.Tipical cap of the beguinning of war when both sides shared the same regulation. Later, each one developed their own regulations. Basically the Nationalist added an St.John's Eagle to wings and the Republicans a red star.RegardsFranHere is a spanish cap, but no picture to confirm it wear by LC member.

francisco v. Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yes, but the that devices were also appliable to breast wings. Forgot to say that Nationalist besides the eagle, also added again the crown.Are those aviator wings on the front of that cap?Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerpionier Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 BackThose are observer's wings. Republican wings had a red star above the central disc, not on it, just like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francisco v. Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Fran?ois' wings are pre-war or early war embroided ones for an observer. Nice indeed.I remember when put on sale at Detlev's shop some years ago but Francois was faster clicking on the 'Buy'icon RegardsFran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
