[Newbie]

Hey guys, just picked this up at a local auction, i believe it is a Kriegsmarine Veteran hat minus insignia ?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Actually I think it is a modern cap for people who like sailing?

Cheers, Ade.

This is a civilian cap, known as a "Prinz Heinrich"...Chancellor Helmut Schmidt was known for wearing one...

Thanks Glenn.... what is the approximate age?

[Walkwolf]

We call these a 'Greek fishermans cap'. Age, 10-20 years maybe.
Not old at all, IMO.........

That label on the sweatband "House of Tyrol", they are a now defunct company who were based in Georgia and imported German goods like beersteins etc.

These are currently produced and available on the civilian market...
