Langemark Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) All insignia is originally sewn to the cap. However, as in many cases, the BeVo cockade is not on a black background but on a dark green one. Such mismatch was simply the result of supply problems with early produced caps.

Langemark Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Reverse of the side panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langemark Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 To me, the most interesting feature on this cap is the cloth tag with name and unit. On the other hand, the maker?s stamp on the lining has become completely unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langemark Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Can?t resist posting a close up of this machine-woven cloth tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mumby Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hello Mark,Lovely M38 you have there, I really like it. I'm glad to see you are still posting atleast on this forum. I have a similar M38, it is Lago Berlin. The Manufature's date is 1941, yet the Depot stamp indicates 1940... this has me a little confused. Have you experienced this mix up of dates before?Cheers.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langemark Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thank you Tom for your kind words. Indeed, for some reasons I felt I had to reduce my posts on the other Forum. Anyway, I won?t say more as I don?t want to use this Forum here as a ?Speaker?s Corner?. I simply hope that my humble contribution to this ?Gentlemans Forum? will be more serene.To answer your question : yes, I have already seen such anachronisms concerning the stamps. I think the Depot not always rigidly adapted the dates. Beside this, everybody sometimes makes mistakes, even in the German Army ! I think, the best you could do is to start a new thread and post some pictures of your cap for comments ?Best, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Beautiful cap ! I don't collect anymore caps or uniforms but I'm still interested to see beautiful items, especially Panzer. I own an officer M38 felgrau with pink soutache; it was named too with postnummer. I hope that your thread will be followed by other .jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
