Early Reichswehr with TR insignia.

Ah so you believe it to be a WW1 visor cap but with third reich insignia out on it.by stonemint
Re: German infantry NCO's peaked cap, real or fake.
The Reichwehr was not WW1. Please do a search about the Reichswehr.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: German infantry NCO's peaked cap, real or fake.
Ade is correct. Reichswehr is the German Armed Forces from 1919-1933 under the Weimar Republik.

oops sorry, so its defiantly not third reich?
Thanks
Re: German infantry NCO's peaked cap, real or fake.
Many Reichwehr era caps were later updated with Third Reich insignia. However, these would have featured early pattern insignia, ie the short wing span eagle, which this is not.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: German infantry NCO's peaked cap, real or fake.
For your reference, here is an early Heer cap eagle from my collection. Note the size of the wingspan.
Re: German infantry NCO's peaked cap, real or fake.
The guys are correct of course but don't be disheartened, it's a rarer cap than a TR example.
Re: German infantry NCO's peaked cap, real or fake.
oh, I've got no idea what its worth, any ideas please?
Thanks
