The cap was made in Neuruppin, a Pz garrison in the Mark Brandenburg. I think it is an old saw of collector lore that III. Reich caps "...never had grey interiors..." but this one does. It was a very nice cap. Today it has a new, happy home, where one hopes the owner secures it from moths, uv rays, too many fingers, as well as from awful dust and grime.

another view. This image shows off the Paspel to nice effect.

I totally Agree with Friedrich, the idea that visors did not have any grey interiors is absurd. I admit that more than a few repros have grey interiors and grey sweatbands, however there is a distinct difference between the TR period and current repros, and the grey undervisor is totally correct, I own a few myself and the first one I bought was a leap of faith not being as well versed in the hobby at that time. After many lessons from really knowledgeable "Hat" guys, learned I did "young skywalker".

This grey SS cap has a grey interior, too, though I do not have an image of it.

Here is another SS cap with a grey interior as if any more proof was needed....

F-B is correct--the "if its got a gray interior it is a fake" mentality is simply incorrect. You will see gray interiors most often on Pekuros.

The reason for the myth is that most post-war BRD visors (of all types) use gray interiors, but they simply do not compare to their TR Opas.
