M34 Overseas cap

[Consonecollector]

Hello everyone!

What do you tell me about this one? Fake?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I have a few concerns on this one. At first glance, it looks "ok". But then you enlarge the pics and some things become apparent:

Lack of air vent grommet.

The cockade is very odd in construction.

Soutach does not fit quite right.

I would pass on this if offered to me. The material used look original, but too many "if's" for my liking.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree with Ade.

Thank you very much Ade and Steve. I think I will pass this one so.

This seller has a lot of "denazified" caps and visors

In Brazil there is a very poor militaria market and the the things that is selling here is very expensive, so I need to find international sales to buy, but the shipping is evil when we are talking about helmets and tunics. I wish I lived in a country where I could find militaria stuf in fairs and shows. Just unburdening lol
