My first cap lots of pics for review

[maximus71]

Hi all,
Thanks for helping me so much, I got my first cap, I went with this near mint Luft nco flight cap by lubstein, please look over the pictures, let me know any concerns or thoughts with its authenticity, I tried to take as many pics as possible to give you a "in hand" look at it, it has about 3 seperate small moth nips and a small tear in the front of the sweatband and it definatly smells right! Im not sure what the stamping is on the inside sweatband but I saw one just like it before so I think its more unit related then soldier related, any help with that would be great, My next cap will be a heer officer, just waiting for the right one to come along

Nice period original Luftwaffe cap.

I did some research on the stamping, and basically it means "airfield commanders office gardelegen" which was a german airfield during ww2, so im assuming that they stamped where the hat was going to or ordered from...........and im not sure how rare this is but I found a matching 1939 lubstein luft nco "signals" cap for sale on a website with the same exact stamp on the inside. first pic is the signals cap second pic is my cap. your thoughts?

Good looking cap! I do not have a luftwaffe cap in my collection.

not sure about stamping.but a very nice hat,just like the one I picked up way back early 50s at a rag& bone merchants[friends of the family]

These type of stamps are found in prewar Luftwaffe caps. They indicate the unit the wearer was assigned to.

Nice Schirmmütze.
My first was also a LW NCO cap

I should buy the signals luft cap also just because the same unit markings make it the sister to this one, they should be together
