Luftwaffe M43 Field Cap

[paulp4180]

I've been avidly comparing the cap here to existing examples on the forum, while i think this is a generally a good cap my reservation is that the machine sewn embroidered trapezoid going all the way through the cap and lining?

All opinions welcome? Thanks in advance.

Never saw a "trap" insignia sewn thru. Not convinced of the insignia itself

I think I see traces of the original Adler underneath the trapezoid replacement (thread remnants).
I really don’t like the look of the insignia either.

Better photos of the whole cap would help.

I agree, original cap with post-war replaced insignia....

As said, the insignia is bad. Also, it should not be sewn through the lining
