I don't think that others can answer if it's worth collecting denazified items or without insignia. Some still like it and some don't.
That was a boring answer from me but it is the truth.

Well, is just that I found funny how much work has been taken to cut the thread leaving the shape of the swastika in the band...
I dont know if it is an ultra sophisticated way of selling a fake as if it was an original (Albeit at a lower price) or just an original cap.

A period original cap. Likely the owner had no idea that his attempt to denazifi the cap would leave the outline of the swastika.

While affiliated with allied forces in the good ole' FRG in the early 1980s, I went to a militaria show at a military base in Aschaffenburg, where I saw many things
with the swastika carefully removed and placed to one side.

As always, our great friend FB has a valid point, which drives my thoughts when I consider an item. That is, the story that is lurking behind the item that is important.
But alas...the truth is that most enthusiasts will want an untouched item, so value and desirability is greatly diminished IMHO.

Thanks for the kind words. I find the tendency to discard something with actual historical merit to be very off putting. I am mentally deranged from
too many years of these posts. Happy hats to all.

i am mentally deranged from a short time of these posts. As FB says 'Happy Hats"
I guess as a much younger man, I found personal value in anything that was in my eyes, "a piece of history". I collected many items of no monetary value through the years, just stuff that made me smile.
Getting caught up in this hobby was either a curse, or a blessing.
