    Sorry, it is a reproduction, from top to bottom--not a single original part.

    It really looks old and used, maybe a movie prop or something like that.

    It's possible Don but look how brand spanking new the chinstrap is compared to the wear on the rest of the cap. But for $10 it's not too bad.

    Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

    I believe from the material used that it is a current Latvian fake. The bullion is Pakinstani. One way to tell is with the national cokade. The black is always black thread on pakistani fakes rather than black bullion wire. Period bullion wreaths ALWAYS have balck bullion wire.
    Please note the original from my insignia collection at the end of the pen tip. It is black bullion wire.
